Hello! I've known of this forum for some time but was never in the right mindset to effectively try it out. I struggle with depression and social anxiety. Introductions are tricky...
About me: I was diagnosed in adulthood, about four years ago. I'm in my twenties. I don't work, but I enjoy volunteering at the library. I actually just went today :D I am a writer, though I struggle to finish my work. I enjoy reading both fiction and nonfiction. When I have the brainpower, I study outdated textbooks on Microbiology.
If you want to reach out to me, feel free to tell me about a weird dream you've had lately. Mine are quite bizarre at times and I like to record them. I love hearing about others' too.
Or just something that you want to share :) I will try to reach out too :heart:

Welcome, you seem interesting. I like writing and reading too, though my writings are private.
Edit: oh, and I love microbiology!

Welcome to the forums!

I did the same thing where I put off joining WP for awhile, but I think joining was a good choice for me. I learned a lot about my autism and met a lot of cool people here. :D

What genre of fiction do you like reading the most?

Thanks! Sometimes writing is best private. It can feel special that way. What do you like to read?

Good to know! I'm glad it's been a positive experience for you. I am currently reading horror. I haven't explored many genres, but I seem to be enjoying this one for now. I highly recommend The Southern Reach trilogy. It's more of a sci-fi thriller, and it does slow down after the first book. But it gives you much to think about.

Welcome to Wrong Planet! Are you interested in out-dated mycology by any chance?

Thank you, and sure! The books I currently have are about 13 years old because they're cheaper that way. I know so little about it that doesn't make much difference for me :) Do you like mycology?

What‘s mycology? I get it confused with malacology (the study of mollusks).

Mycology is study of fungi! :D Mollusks are cool too.

Hi and welcome Spotted Mushroom :). I enjoy writing too, but tend to keep it private, apart from the occasional poem I share here.

My Aspie sister was into Dreams Interpretation. My dreams drive me nuts :lol:. They are always about the same two things. Only occasionally do they ever stray from that! The only good thing about that, is that I am a lucid dreamer. Nice to have you with us. 8)
