Hi everyone.

I was signposted to this site by another service and I can see already that it looks like this is a really supportive environment. My name is Kayla and I am 17 years old. As you can probably see on my profile, my hobbies include performing arts, crochet, trampolining and gymnastics. I was a gymnast for 12 years and I was even a gymnastics coach for 3 ½ years of that time on top of being a gymnast. I also enjoy creative writing- particularly monologues!

I was diagnosed with autism when I was 15 and it hasn't always been an easy time for me but through this site, I hope to be able to find other people like me so I can know that I am not alone.
