Questions about you

Post Reply New Topic

Hello,

What is your first name? I won't tell

Age: 30

Location: France

Hobbies and Interests: Cinema, Animals, Nature, Psychology, Other

Why are you here? Trying to find clues as to how to make some friends or entertain relationships with other people on the spectrum. I think it might be easier but it's not been my experience so far on various autism-related discord servers. I keep trying though and maybe it'll be different on a forum.

When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder): A few months ago. I've had various wrong diagnosis in the past though, including school phobia, social phobia, strong social anxiety, trauma, schizophrenia, and others I'm sure I forget. But now finally on the right path to better understand myself, so here I am.

Favorite subjects: I don't usually talk to anyone so I'm not sure about this one. I guess I enjoy talks about cinema, TV shows, autism, psychology/psychiatry (I hate psychoanalysis and am really saddened by it still having an influence in psychology and psychiatry cursi here in France).

Year/Grade: I'm not sure what answer is expected here but I never graduated if that's the question. I have this strange dream to validate a high school diploma equivalent and go to college but right now that's not doable for me.

Favorite music: Classical, Rock, Metal, mostly, but a lot of other stuff also in smaller quantities.

Books: I don't read anymore but when I did, I really enjoyed the Harry Potter books, the LotR books and Stephen King's The Dark Tower saga. I have read a lot of other stuff but not too memorable from the top of my head. Those past 10 or so years I haven't read nearly as much and mostly "practical" stuff.

TV shows: GoT, Stranger Things, The Terror, Breaking Bad, Westworld, Wayward Pines 1st season, Star Trek Discovery, Attack on Titans...
Movies: Too many to note but I really like anything by Denis Villeneuve and Christopher Nolan, among a lot of other films.

Instrument: No. I wish I knew piano though but I'll probably never have the patience to learn now that I'm all grown up.

Do you like sports? I don't like watching sports except Tennis which I really enjoy. I'm lucky enough to live in France where one of the 4 major Tennis tournament takes place each year so I can watch it on TV. I used to do a lot of different sports when I was younger, mainly soccer, judo, a bit of aïkido, some table tennis, a lot of very amateur cycling, some jogging, some archery, and tons of walking, but I don't really go out anymore and I feel too damaged emotionally and too depressed to get back into any of it for now. I also always quite enjoyed martial arts and combat sports like boxing in general.

Family: Both parents and an older sister, no children. A dog which I consider my best friend.

Clothing: Whatever is comfortable when I don't have to go out and meet people, which is pretty much my daily life. I hate "tight" clothes like jeans etc, I can't wear some fabrics that feel aggressive on my skin, etc.

How did you find this website? Googled "autism friendship".

Job: None.

Plans for the future? Hopefully get better and manage to connect with people here first, and in real life later.

Any comments? I hope someone would come and say hi.
