Soooooo... hi XD

So I was randomly googling stuffs when I came across this site. Figured I might join up...

So yeah... I'm not very good with hellos...

About me: I'm from Britain; I was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome a couple years back (a late-ish diagnosis). I sometimes compose music; my current main stims include meowing, beatboxing and knuckle-cracking; I have massive anxiety issues; and I am obsessed in roleplaying (especially the tabletop kind, like D&D). I prefer to think of myself as gender-neutral (agender), but given I'm physically male, I also prefer male pronouns. I studied Astrophysics at university for a couple years before dropping out because the anxiety issues were too much (plus I wasn't anywhere near independent enough for the style of study). I'm just about in my mid 20s now, but I still don't feel like (or think of myself as) an adult.

So yeah... that's it I guess XD

Welcome,

I don't think of myself or feel like an adult a lot of the time too! - mid-forties and only diagnosed a few weeks back. I make a bit of music using audio loopers, and I'd love to be able to beat-box - it would be a cool way to lay down rhythm tracks for me to jam over.

Heh, thanks for the welcome~

My tool of choice is a big, heavy Yamaha Moxf8 keyboard when it comes to music composing, though I only recently got it (saving up around £1600 takes time). Used to use midi software previously.

As for beatboxing, sometimes it feels more like a curse since I figured out how to do it, because I just can't stop >.<... drives my parents insane XD.

From my imagination, I guess XD

Or at least I commissioned an artist to draw the lines for it, and coloured/shaded it myself afterwards.

The character is sorta a metaphoric representation of myself.
