Hi,
I'm new to the forum, so I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Astrid, aged 21 and liv ein the Netherlands. I was diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder last March. IN addition, I am blind.

I liv eon my own, with support from an agency for the disabled. I'm in college, a freshman majorin gin linguistics. IN my spare tiem, I usually hang around online. I also like writing. My interests constantly change, so that's hard to tell. Well anyway, if you have questions/comments feel free to ask/say.

Hi and welcome :P
I am always facinated by people that have impared vision (please dont be offended I am not trying to embarrass or hurt you) I just have this immense amount of respect and curiosity about how they process the world, I have the a similar obsession with twins.
Do you feel that your other senses are heightened due to your blindness? and if so how and did they increase proportionally as your vision decreased?
Please feel free to ignore me if you feel I am being rude. :)
