Hi, I just spotted this thread!
I'm Sarah. I'm an undiagnosed, not sure but very probably Aspie...if that makes any sense. While I am pretty verbal, I don't do well round large groups of people, especially if they all want to talk at once - I feel overwhelmed. At any given party you will probably find me hiding in a corner reading a book. I often find it hard to talk to people, and I'm not great with names and faces. But, I've found ways of coping with this crazy world and have (hopefully) given up the need to always fit in.
I'm 39, female, British, married, no kids (but one cat!), and I do indeed have (dyed) red hair. I'm a medical clerk by day and a musician, artist and writer the rest of the time. My spirituality is what I loosely describe as eclectic urban pagan.
My obsessions include all things having to do with Nirvana (the band, although I have also been known to show an interest in Buddhism!), obscure languages and the structure of words, world religions and spirituality, myths and legends, history (the weird bits), medical stuff, the city of Seattle, and the novel I'm currently writing (an urban crime fantasy). I listen to a huge variety of music (rock, indie, classical, medieval, blues), watch very little TV (QI, My Name Is Earl, a few cartoons - I like Adult Swim when I'm in the US, which is not often enough) and tend to be about a decade behind everyone else in the movies I haven't yet seen!
If anyone wants to chat, I'll be around...
