Hi everyone, after knowing about this website for a while I decided to finally join up. I'm just introducing myself and leaving the "other stuff" for another day.
I am 21 years old, 22 next month. I live in the Melbourne area and I work 10 hours a week in retail. My hobbies are watching anime (Japanese animation) and playing video-games although lately my interest for everything has gone down. My username comes from the video-game "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998)" on the Nintendo 64, my all time favourite game. I am single and have not been in a single relationship to this day. I am currently living alone and have been for around 2 years.
As a child I had signs of autism and had learning difficulties growing up. I had an integration aide (assistant teacher) for all of my Primary School years. I spent the first few years taking extra speech classes because I didn't know how to speak properly. My integration aide moved back to New Zealand and didn't end up getting one for High School. Mum always read books to me so I can read and write properly even if I don't know what the words mean. I left High School in 2009 (Year 11) and got a job in retail which has helped me learn how to make casual conversation with people I don't know. There are issues with work now but I'll get to that another time.
I think the main reason I joined is because I think I needed somewhere to let my life-long story out. Friends can say they will always be there, but in reality they do get tired of hearing me about my issues all the time. The community here seems small but nice so I hope I feel welcome here soon.
