Hi!

Post Reply New Topic

I'm Lisa and I'm 23. I'm not formally diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, but many people who know me believe I have aspies, and I'm inclined to agree. I have diagnosises for my general and social anxiety, depression/mild bipolar, and ADHD. I also think I may have some PD stuff going on too, based on years of self evaluation and knowledge of PDs.

Let's see, I saw someone say they were a pretty typical aspies kid growing up, and so was I. Bad posture, obsessive special interests that I'd talk people's ears off about, poor social skill, bad handwriting (exasperated by the fact that I was a lefty who was forced to learn to write right handed), sensory issues, not liking to be touched, etc. I've gotten a lot better at dealing with that stuff, but it doesn't really go away lol. I am very proud of how far I've come with touching and eye contact lately though!

I'm really into movies, both good ones and bad ones. They're definitely a special interest for me, I'm very much into having in depth discussions about movies I watch, especially the sociological aspects of them. I also like beading, reading articles about animals and insects/bugs (recently I found out that spiders move their legs using hydraulics), playing video games, I love paranormal stuff despite not being a believer, and I love music of all kinds.

Due to my mixture of disorders I dont have many friends, and I hope to make some here, as it can be very lonely when you have autism spectrum disorders (given that many neurotypicals don't know how to handle the weird or negative aspects).

Please feel free to talk to me at any time, I really do love talking to people, even though its sometimes a struggle to know what to say.

Welcome! Spiders ought to be given tiny stilts, you would certainly see them coming then.

Hey Lisa welcome.

Para-Psychology. I said it so now you can watch as all of the "debunkers" come out ! ;o
Feel free to touch me all you want after you become more comfortable with touching.
Anyway, welcome to our club or something, and feel free to make clubs of your own, too !

I have the same thing with movies. Sci-fi is my favourite genre, but I find lots of interesting sociopolitical interpretations in other genres too (action, superheroes, horror, to name a few)

I have a fascination with the paranormal, specially demonology. I recently read The Demonologist by Ed and Lorraine Warren, and Deliver Us From Evil by Ralph Sarchie.

I'd really like to hear about your movie interpretations.

hi, lisa. welcome. what are your favorite types of music?

I'm 27, and suspect that I am on the spectrum. I love reading about animals, insects and their biology: both anatomical and genetic. Evolution and human migration patterns from genetics are my specific interests as of late. I have sensory issues with sound, but have always been fairly good with eye contact, which is part of the reason I never suspected myself until recently.

I love discussing movies in general, and meta-conversations in movies in particular. I play story-based video games (Ace Attorney, Knights of the Old Republic etc) and like reading people's hands/ palmistry even though I don't believe it myself. It can be a very fun ice breaker.

I love to talk to people and make new friends (even though I don't always succeed on account of coming across as weird), so I have a small number of very close friends, but not a large circle of friends by any definition.

Feel free to message me!

Welcome! Hope you enjoy it here and make new friends.

Welcome to Wrong Planet!

Hi and welcome!!

Hi & welcome,
Discussions on Sci-fi and bugs always welcome too. Especially Ants. Maybe future masters of earth.

Hydraulics? Thats new to me too. But not surprised. Bugs are being studied more and more as models for future technology.

Thank you for the welcomes, everyone!

I personally really like beetles and moths/butterflies, but ants are pretty cool and impressive too.
