Hi everyone,

I’m new here and just wanted to introduce myself.

Right now, I’m unemployed and really struggling with life. The world feels incredibly difficult to navigate — like everyone else got the manual and I didn’t. I’ve been trying to get a proper autism diagnosis for a while, but where I live, that kind of support is nearly impossible to access. Still, I’m almost certain I’m autistic based on how I function, how I communicate, and the way others react to me — especially when I’m just being myself.

I’ve been trying to learn things that many people seem to take for granted. Programs like Blender — while others seem to pick them up naturally or with ease, I find myself going over the same steps repeatedly, trying to make sense of things that no one seems to explain clearly. It’s frustrating, but I keep going because I want to build and create — I just wish the world made learning more accessible.

My interests are quite niche. I love deep lore-rich worlds like The Elder Scrolls, The Witcher, Doctor Who, and anything involving multiverse or time travel storytelling. I’m really into creative writing and worldbuilding — especially when it reflects internal mythology or themes like exile, survival, or transformation. I also enjoy diving into spirituality, psychology, and alternative thinking — the kind that doesn’t always follow mainstream rules.

What I dislike: being dismissed, misunderstood, talked over, or forced into noisy, chaotic environments. I’m not good at small talk — it drains me. I value honesty, depth, and being allowed to exist without judgment or pressure to perform "normalcy."

I joined Wrong Planet hoping to find people who understand what it’s like to live like this — always trying to connect, always trying to be understood, and constantly bumping up against a world that wasn’t really made for people like me.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I appreciate being here.

– Sable :nerdy:

Howdy Howdy Howdy. Welcome to the Wrong Planet.

One thing I hate is to be interrupted. There are many days where I may not talk to someone all day.

However, once I start talking to someone, I can talk for quite a while.

Hi Yeah sorry that didn't come out the way I expected it to, Honestly I love talking to others but not everyone understands me, Its Quite Numbing when you think about it. :(.

① Welcome to WP! I hope you like it here.

② Note that being on the Autism Spectrum is not a requirement for being on the Wrong Planet. A polite interest in neurodiversity would be nice, however.

③ So...welcome to WP!

④ While you seek a formal Autism diagnosis (which is not required by WP) I'll mention AQ. It only gives an informal assessment but if you haven't already found it then you might find it interesting.

And are you partial go any particular Doctor? :chin:

A big welcome to the sands of night ;)

Indeed maestro, many of the forum pots and topics touch on the subjects you are referring to and struggling with.
(as you will have gathered by now ;) )
Be at rest and welcome here.

Kind regards,
Kada
