Hi everyone
It's been so long since I've been onto the site, and my brain stuff is a bit rusty - I had to put it all down for a while, make some massive life changes, and am just starting to get the bug back.
I thought I'd do a quick post to see who (if anyone!) is still around from the Far Z's (Oz, Nz... far away, ending in Z, ergo the far z's lol).
If you're here (i know some may not come to regional forums, too) let me know! These days it'd be nice to know I'm not the only Australian with a brain, seeing how the country is. But that's another topic for a different forum...
Say hi, and share where you are (if you're ok with that, obviously)!
I only ask of people what I do for people,
So, HI!
I'm aylaah (here... Kelly IRL). Officially I live in Adelaide, but I'm splitting time between Adelaide and Newcastle NSW these days. I'm from NSW originally, been in Adelaide almost 2 years. Not that it matters but in case we're doing this, I'm a girl, early 30's (yes I know it therefore should say 'woman' but I'm not convinced I'm a real grown up yet), divorced/engaged, parent to the weirdest (in a good way) examples of kids I've ever met and the only ones I like, student photographer (studying diploma, but that basically means unemployed mostly, lol). I was autistically hyperfocused on the brain for around 3 years, took a break and am slowly waking up to it all. Autistic traits exist, not autistic (well...). Do have inattentive ADHD (so ADD really, but "they" don't call it that. They prefer this version, which is an obscene oxymoron, for it is not at all inattentive, it is hyper/over-attentive, as though the hyperactivity is in the Looking and the Thinking, rather than in the Doing... unless that Doing is typing, in which case I go hard, fast, rambling, tangent-laced, and essay-like).
Think that's more than enough, really. Looking forward to seeing if anyone else is here.
