Hello forum users.
I'm a return user from South Australia. I am 24, Male and introverted. I was first diagnosed HFA as a child.

I posted a little bit here back in 2011-2015, but that was when I was going through teen-Y/A issues.
I've created a new account, seeming as its been so many years and that I'm drastically different to the past me that posted. Also I don't want to be associated with past teen-angst posts.

All things considered I'm functioning fairly well currently. I've been employed full-time since 2015 and live independent.
The thing is I've been stagnant for year upon year; I wake, work, game, sleep. Rinse repeat, every day, for years.
I haven't had a friend since highschool. I really want to change that now.
The problem is I'm very shy and anxious. When I socialise I revert to social apathy because of the anxiety.



Edit: Thought I should add a bit more:
I mainly play League of Legends on my PC, I love tech and spend too much time browsing pc part lists. I love fantasy storiest, I listen to audiobooks all day at work and often read them when I'm home. Bandon Sanderson, Andrew Rowe, Edward W. Robertson, Mark Lawrence is a list of current authors I'm consuming. Everything they write, I'm listening to/reading with a passion.

Welcome back and congrats on getting through the teen years intact. Not easy to do, but keep posting and I'm sure people will do their best to inspire you.
