Hello everyone, my name is Peregrina (which means a wanderer). I am not a big fan of social networking, but I find this forum interesting and I learn a lot about my condition. Most of my free time is spent reading books and articles related to my interests.

I'm 32 years old, got a diagnosis as an adult. I love my own space and quiet time, so I live near forest. Like many other people with ASD, I dislike crowded places and I am sensitive to certain noises. I am not talkative unless I can talk about what I like. I dream to do research, but the academic arena is too competitive and stressful.

My interests: nutrition, health related topics in general. I worked in healthcare for several years but found it draining as I had to interact with lots of different people.

Hello, new here too. :) Been doing some reconnaissance about the place. It is nice to know there are many other adults here who also have ASD. Oh, to live near a forest - sounds rather nice! As an urbanite the background din of cars and everyday goings on gets a bit too much at times.
