Hello !
Recently diagnosed as being on the Autism Spectrum Disorder by a psy (just verbally because a professional diagnosis might hinder my future life. France, my country, is not really tolerant about autistic and aspies), i came across Wrong Planet and i have decided to subscribe to the forum.
My name is Sophie and i'm 22. I'm obsessed with pop culture, especially tv shows and movies. I could babble hours about my favorite movies, fan theories, tropes and so on.
Autistic activist on Tumblr, i try to offer some stories about autism, theories about meltdown, self-injury behavior and stuff. My purpose is to help autistic folks (self-diagnosed or not) to understand themselves better. Since i learned to study my own behavior quite intensively, i was hoping i could help and so far, it seems to be the case. I'm really happy about that ^^. I'm not widely recognized, but i have some followers and they're very nice.
I've also written an article about being autistic for a french feminist website. So far, it seems to have been well received.
I'm a Librarian. I love my job, but i struggle with communication and it's hard for me to connect with my colleagues or the library's patrons. I can't remember any name, any face, no matter how hard i try. But i still adore my job, and the fact that i'm independant, and i hope that, one day, i'll be able to have a stable job (this one is just a contract to replace someone who's pregnant).
I love creative writing. My executive dysfunction doesn't help, but i hope that, one day, i'll be able to finish a story. Publishing it is another matter, but just finishing it would already be quite an accomplishment ^^.
As you might have noticed, English is my second language, so i apologize in advance if my vocabulary is not perfect. I'm working on it, but i'm still not fluent. I hope you'll be okay with it.
Any questions ? I'll be happy to answer them !
