Hello, new instance! I am Fern (she/her) and I was recently diagnosed as autistic after suffering from a ~4 year burnout (and lots of 1-6 month burnouts before that ๐ฎโ๐จ) and a bipolar misdiagnosis. Found a good therapist and am getting professional help finally!
I don't know what else to say here tbh, so I'll list some of my special interests:
- Justness/Fairness
- Information Accessibility
- Ontology
- Super Smash Bros Melee _
- Banjo
- Electrical engineering
- Video Game Controllers and their development
- Linux
- Not sure whst to call it, but Privacy? Internet/digital security?
- Fonts

I often have a topic I want to go off on, usually a special interest, but I have no one to talk to about it, so they stay as typed up notes until I could find a place. I also love learning about new topics from passionate individuals, so I decided to start a community for that! I'm the (currently sole) moderator for [email protected], which I created as a space to allow for autistic people to make posts about their special interests in a respectful and safe space, at least while Lemmy is small and niche communities are too sparse to really have any engagement.
