Why are you here? Because I would like to talk to more people like me

When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder): about 3 months ago

Favorite subjects: Most definitely english. I am just dreadful at math, and in fact, have dyscalculia. But because of that, I am at a great advantage when it comes to english!

Year/Grade: I am in 12th grade (again) because I had to repeat a grade

Favorite music: My most favorite band ever is Depeche Mode! I also love Devo, The Cure, Kraftwerk, Strawberry Switchblade, Ween, And just basically any new wave and post punk music!

Books: Mostly horror novels. I am a huge fan of Jack Ketchum, Richard Laymon, & Stephen King. Recently I have also gotten into bizarro fiction. I like non-fiction as well, as long as it is about a subject I have a deep interest in. (the black death & other massive epidemics throughout history, chernobyl nuclear disaster, nuclear bombs, prehistoric mammals, etc.)

TV shows/Movies: My favorite show ever is Osomatsu-san. I also like Ranma 1/2, nearly all installments of my pretty cure franchise, Ojamajo doremi, Madoka magica, Magical girl lyrical nanoha, and Kimba the white lion. Those are all my favorite anime. For American shows, I only like cartoons, and those are: South Park, My little pony, and the 1980s carebears.

Instrument: I do not play one, but I love the sound of a giant pipe organ. Also, synths, hehe.

Do you like sports? NO.

Family: I have a mom, dad, and little sister who is very close to my age (only 2 years apart!) and she's very nice and usually quite patient with me, which I am so thankful for! We are best friends, my little sister and I! I also have a big puppy standard poodle, she's the sweetest family dog in the whole universe.

Clothing: Always very loose and comfy. I have always had to wear clothes 2-3 sizes larger than I really wear, ever since I was a child, even. Often as a kid I would snatch my parents shirts to wear because they just felt 'right'! Of course, always no tags. And usually I wear sweat pants or baggy jeans.

Hello, folks.

Age:
27
Location:
England.

Mainly science-based. I love all things dead: paleoarchaeology/the geological timescale comprise my special madness. I have a very broad range of other interests. Recently became interested in improving my grasp of the French language, as well as genetic mutations and digital art.
Why are you here?
I've been here before. New leaf, so to speak. I find the forums entertaining.
When were you diagnosed?
2016.
Favorite subjects:
Science, geography, medieval history, psychology, fantasy and sci-fi.

Metal, electronic, rock and trance.

Any comments?
I collect huge numbers of plants, and have behavioural idiosyncrasies involving finding hairs and hearing the dripping of water. I suspect I probably have mild OCD, but am too tired and too bitter to bother having any more psychologists rifling around in my brain.
