Hello!

Post Reply New Topic

Hello from Finland. I'm a female in my late twenties. I hesitate to use the word woman because my emotional age has been stuck at five years old. I like teddybears and have greatly enjoyed the teddybear challenge where people put teddybears on their balconies/windows to the enjoyment of (children) passers-by during the corona situation. I also like mysteries and all kinds of puzzles that I can solve. For example, I like learning new languages to figure out how the grammar works, but once I've "solved the puzzle", I lose interest and move onto the next one.

I am a self-diagnosed autistic. I won't bore people with my inner reasonings for the diagnosis, but I'll mention a couple of outside observations that support my diagnosis: as a child I saw a speech therapist, my mother has described me as a difficult child and she got me The Definitive Book of Body Language for a birthday present when I was in my early twenties (I assume she figured I'd benefit from it), I got bullied at school for adhering to AND reminding other people of the rules (I assume that's the reason anyway).

That's it for now. I'm looking forward to participating in conversations in the hopes of alleviating my anxiety about interacting with strangers; even online conversations can make me all nervous and sweaty, but having lurked a bit, WrongPlanet seems like a good place to start.

Nice. Welcome here at WP!

Welcome to Wrong Planet. It is O.K. to be 5 years old. That is the age I am at in the stages of Child Development. I am in my pleasing 5's. That is despite the fact that I am 71. Anyways it is a whole lot of fun being a 5 year old, wearing the mask of an introverted adult.

Hi and a very warm welcome to you ! One of my dearest friends, someone I went through High School with is from Finland, though has lived in Australia for many years now. Good to have you with us. (btw I was a bear maker, one of my many crafting hobbies ... mohair collector bears, the traditional kind with growlers and musical mechanisms). xx

welcome to this Wrong Planet , happy Landings to you and your teddybears .
