Hey there! I'm Jake, a 26-year-old guy from the UK. I must admit, I'm not the best at introductions, but I'll give it a shot anyway!

Since my early days in primary school, I've been diagnosed with Asperger's, but I've always tried to ignore it because I just wanted to fit in. However, in recent years, I've come to fully accept and embrace who I am, which has been a wonderful journey!

Currently, I work in retail after leaving a stressful security job behind. Although I have aspirations to start my own website design business, I'm not sure how successful it will be. Time will tell!

When I'm not working, my interests revolve around photography, nature, music, technology, and history/folklore. I actually have a degree in photography, which was a personal milestone for me, especially since I had a long story involving dropping out of school.
