Any teen Aussies here?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm 15 from Melbourne, Aus. I was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome as a toddler. Want to get to know some people with ASD, because I've had neurotypical friends all my life, and it would be nice to know some like-minded people. Anyone who wants to talk about absolutely anything PM me please!!

im 17 and from melbourne, nice to meet you !

Hi aleigh1

Im 19 years old and I am also from Melbourne as well. I couldn't talk properly when I was 6 years old and I saw the world differently since I was 3 years old. I was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum when I was 7 years old.

I have an obsession in trains and rail transport and I memorised the Melbourne train and tram map at 8 years old.
-For example I know that five new underground stations are being built.

I am interested in film directing, editing, animation and advocating for Autism acceptance and Neurodiversity. The types of films I would like to create are films that have Autistic characters in them that are played by Autistic actors, where I would use my own experience and collaborate with other Neurodivergent people as well.

I am not at that stage just yet, but I am interested in doing that kind of stuff.

I also have a youtube channel and I have made two films recently in 2019 and 2020. Both of which focus on Autism spectrum themes.

I am nearly 17 this year, and I am from Perth, Western Australia. This is my first post on Wrong Planet.

Hey, I'm 15 and from Melbourne, Australia. I'm new to Wrong planet. i don't really have anyone who i can really discuss and relate to autism with. does anyone else hate the school environment?

Not sure how to use the quote function yet... but, artisticKoala, I would say that it is too restrictive/simplistic to say that I "hate the school environment", as there does exist many school environments within a school. For example, I would say that I dislike the social elements/environments of school, and so the social environment, may be hated by myself, but at the same time, my Mathematics Specialist class has only 9 dedicated students, and so class time in that class is enjoyable for myself, as I get to focus on a subject I enjoy in a quiet environment, so I would not consider myself to hate that specific environment. Similarly, I participate in physics competitions at school, and again I find myself participating in a subject I enjoy, but mostly devoid of noise/s. Though I would have to say that given the overwhelming majority of my time at school is still in the social-sphere, the majority of my school environments I do dislike. To further your argument, it could be said that my special interests being an acceptable use of my time at school may be the primary factor in why I enjoy some school environments, and so for a person who's special interests cannot be studied at school, they may have a different experience/opinion than I.

I am a security guard from Poland and I sleep on duty watching old Olympics reruns
You are Australian, I like Australia very much, if I had the opportunity I would move to Australia or New Zealand
I think the two skateboarders who represented you in Tokyo may have autism

Because it seems Australia has one of the most forgiving national aviation administrations

A buddy had two Asperger and ADHD ailments and obtained pilot licenses and was admitted to the Polish Air Force Academy for the pilot of MiG-29 / F-16 supersonic fighters.

Because Poland has two types of post-Soviet MiG-29 fighter planes and the new F-16, maybe not entirely new Poland bought them in 2004, now we are buying F-35
