Hi, I've just arrived here from another site because it seems much friendlier here, so I'm introducing myself twice in a few days.

I was diagnosed with ASD about a year and a half ago, after suspecting it seriously for a prior year and a half to that (that is a hard sentence). I make no distinction between the arbitrary labels assigned, I'm just autistic and that's fine by me. I call myself autistic as opposed to "having" autism as I cannot separate myself from my neurology, but I don't care how others choose to define themselves. I am also agender, asexual and love vehicles <3 I also currently have a broken ankle >.<

I am currently owned by a Citroen Saxo (Clutch), BMW 316i (Blitz), fat old border collie cross (Sasha) and 21 brown-lipped snails (Cepaea nemoralis), 10 of which are adults (all named after moons), the rest being the latest clutch I am raising (I keep one per clutch, the rest are released in nice snaily areas when (almost) full grown). I have a ridiculous range of interests: animals, palaeontology, genetics, taxonomy, evolution, meteorology, geology, pre-mediaeval cultures, being a leftie-liberal-SJW, strategy games (farting about on computers all day counts right?), Marvel cinematic universe (ok, ok, mostly Bucky Barnes/WS...) and of course vehicles, especially cars and locos.

I also swear quite a lot in RL but I'll try not to stain this site with my filth :p
