Hello everyone,

I'm Filippa, although that is not my real name, I'm 36 years old and I live in the Netherlands.
Since a few years I am 99,9% (or probably just 100%) sure I have a form of autism. I've taken the online tests on several occasions and I always score very high. Since I know this about myself, a lot of things have fallen into place. Things about my youth, about my personality, about my (failure at) relationships, etcetera, etcetera.
I have thought about getting an official diagnosis, but on the other hand I keep thinking "what's the point? I'm 36, and I've 'managed' life so far without the diagnosis". So I am kind of on the fence about that. It's okay the way things are, it's just good to know why I do what I do. Something like that. :lol:

I stumbled upon this forum a few weeks ago, and I finally decided to register. It feels like home just reading things. So yeah, I'm happy a place like this exists.

Filippa

I am obsessed with football (or soccer, depending on where you're from), music, and my biggest obsession of them all is the Belgian royal family, the current king in particular. I collect everything I can get my hands on. I am quite the collector anyway, things easily get out of hand. lol.
I also like to play video games.
I used to run, but I don't have the time anymore. Maybe some day again. I hope.
I like to go for long walks. I am slightly interested in photography. I travel to Belgium once in a while to photograph the king. Also have a fascination for ships, I sure enjoy taking photos of them as well.
That's about it, I guess.

Since you like to go for long walks, I would think that you would actually save time by running lol.

I have a job that takes up a lot of my physical energy, so it's more relaxing to go for walks when I have the time for it.

I like different kinds of music. Classic rock, 80s pop, French chansons, all kinds of things really. The list is endless.
