Hi everyone, this is a really different site and quite big too!
I am from Western Australia and I am new to comuters and the internet. I've seen a lot of cool stuff done by people and I have no idea how they did it! Guess I will learn sooner or later.
Some about me. I was born and bred here. Am 28 now, although feel much younger. Went to seven different schools, some as a result of moving, some as a result of not fitting in. I then worked a few jobs before settling at a mushroom farm. I started as a picker, then warehouse, then a forklift/loader driver. I eventually left after nine years due mainly to stress.
I didn't know about the way I am then, just that I felt really different and apart from everyone else. I was barely functioning when I left, so Mum got me to live with her (I was living alone) and sought a diagnosis as we agreed that it shouldn't be this hard.
Shortly after, I was diagnosed with HFA and ADHD.
It answered a lot of questions for me, although I couldn't help but feel a little bit angry about my chilhood and how I didn't get any help during that time.
I do feel much better now, and things are looking better for me.
I am looking to study electronics, as I know a little bit about it and I hope to do a course via computer. I think that will suit me best!
I don't have any savant skills or anything like that, and some people may not even pick up on the fact that I'm autistic.
I do feel it in me, though, and I'm glad to know because sometimes I really felt like I was going crazy!
Sometimes I do weird things and embarrass people too but at least now I know why.
I am looking forward to getting to know others and exploring this site some more.
That's all I can think of for now.....

Welcome to WrongPlanet, renaeden! I'm Bec and I'm 18. I've never been to Western Australia. My family is from Melbourne. After I was diagnosed I was also angry that I didn't get help for it when I was little. My mum and I think that I'm better off for it, though. I've learnt how to adapt on my own. Hmmm...a mushroom farm...sounds interesting.

Well, this is a good place to find help in those areas.

Hello! I'm also from Western Australia! It's so great seeing that there are people from all over different parts of the world here, and it's such a great surprise finding fellow West Australian's. Welcome, and a very good luck to you with the studies into electronics!

Welcome to WP!

I'm from Melbourne myself... never realised there were so many Aussies here actually.

Anyway welcome. Come sit down, and have some chookalate.

Hi,

I'm in WA, down in the SW, and I think Danlo is a sandgroper too. I spent most of my life in Sydney though. I didn't realise there were so many aussies here either, we've never had a thread about it, like the brits do. Welcome to the site and the life.

Welcome to WrongPlanet!

Welcome to the Luney Bin! Visiting hours are between 8 and 9 every evening. I'll need to take your shoe laces. Your nurse's name is Julie.

Hey, thanks for the welcome!
I've already spoken with danlo through another site. It's good to make some new friends.
I'm sure I will be busy with looking at people's pictures and stuff.
Hope to put my own on when I learn how!
Is it really a loony bin?
Doesn't matter, I've already been in one of those!! !! (Yeah, really!)
Anyway, thanks again.

Hi, renaeden, welcome to WrongPlanet!

No, of couse not! In fact, WrongPlanet is a refuge for normal reasonable people who want to escape, if only for a moment, the crazy world outside. At least it seems so to me...


At what age, if you don't mind asking?

Hmmmmm? Why do you say that? I know
that there are other sites out there.
I ask because I could guess why, but
let's not interject my opinion. Why do you
say this?



Life's a experience and live it. Good
journey on this!



Age is just a number. It is how you
think that affects how you feel.



Hmmmmm? I am going to dissect here!

Why didn't you fit in???????
What was it you were doing??????
what was it you were not doing?????
What grades were you during this???????

I am Ghosthunter and HFA. I do not
want ot interject my thoughts here
just yet. I am just giving you a heads up.

AS'rs from Australia....
Postperson
&
Ali(ASD or AS?)

HFA'rs from Austraila....
Elfman

HFA-Like sisters.....AS generally
Pryaxis
and
Sophist



This is typical of me and others on this
site I believe. What jobs were these?
The best jobs play your strengths, and
like me and you, it sounds like you didn't.



The sneeze before the cold, then comes
the healing called awareness, thus growth
of the spirit, self and I-Physical realms that
reconstruct you. Bless-it-Be you came
here to WrongPlanet because you will
find us a friendly lot. Express freely,
and leave after each time feeling that
something quite big or even small was
achieved. Bless-it-be Renaeden!



There is no remedy for this. Autism is life
long and it's our coping skills that make us
stronger, not meds to disguise and
create a dependecy, not a coping skill.
Just my opinion though!



Very good.



Hmmmmmm?
What do you do that is natural to you?
and .......without the influence of others?

What are your symptoms of Autism
that you exhibit? And when do they occur?
And under what circumstances?



Welcome to wrongplanet. Why did you find
this site better and bigger compared to the others?
Hmmmmm?

Sincerely,
your HFA-Brother
Ghosthunter
