Hi there, I thought I'd say hi and see what this is all about. My name is Aiden and I have Autism (High functioning type). I'm 30 years old. I'm into gaming, films, nature, meditation, cats. Struggling with this lockdown, its kinda lonely at the moment (Well I don't have many friends anyways but this is even more socially isolating). Not sure what else to do so I found this and well, I guess I'll see.

Hi @Astr0cent - Welcome to the community, which I hope you enjoy a being part of, Aiden. Many of us like films & cats for a start. You should try our 'Coffee lounge, where films & TV box sets are being discussed. There people share their artwork & photos of their pets, & more. See the link on the right. I think we're all finding it strange & sometimes lonely at the moment, which is in part why this community can be so helpful, just chatting online.Please have a look around & join in with any discussions that interest you. I'm sure you'll fit right in.1

Welcome to the community @Astr0cent. I hope you'll stick around and get involved in some of our lighter chats over on the coffee lounge.
