What is your first name? Zach (m/gender nonconforming)
Age: 31
Location: Iowa
Hobbies and Interests: Anime/Manga (all sorts), video games, literature (speculative/sci-fi/fantasy), history (social/economic/political/intellectual), political philosophy
Why are you here? Coming out from under trauma and self-isolation, I want to find and form a small number of real friendships (online is fine, I like to VC) filled with open and thoughtful communication 
When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder): I am in the process of getting my diagnosis now
Favorite subjects: History, Philosophy
Favorite music: Wide range depending on mood - Classical, Jazz, Punk Rock, and Rap all appeal, as does Ska (sorry not sorry) and genre fusions of many kinds.
TV shows/Movies: Mostly Anime (some favorites include One Piece, FMA: Brotherhood, and Toradora! but I like a very wide variety). Not a big movie guy by contrast, but I *do* love video games.
Do you like sports? I recognize their value, but they've never much interested me, and I've always been dreadful at physical activities generally.
Family: My parents are both well, and my beloved little sister who just got married! : )
How did you find this website? Found on a directory site for autism resources - don't recall which one
Job: Accountant
Plans for the future? Kind of at an inflection point now - I've felt too disconnected from the world after losing my partner to insanity and suicide about 8 years ago, and have finally reached a point where I feel I understand myself well enough and am emotionally ready to take the step of trying to forge new friendships and to expand slightly my small world.
Any comments? If you'd be interested in chatting 1-on-1, please hit me up via PM and we can share Discord information. I don't expect everyone I meet with to like me, but I am a lonely human and want to share my thoughts and feelings with another, and share in others' in turn. Such a simple thing, but so hard to find, sometimes.

Hey, is that London in England you mean?? There's a much smaller London here in Canada, too, so I still sometimes get mixed up between the two, hehehe!!
