Hi everyone, I'm Charlie, I know a few people here already but I just wanted to introduce myself.
I had my first clue I might have SPD when reading a book on dyspraxia (I had no idea dyspraxia was linked to SPD/falls under the same category) and the writer talked about being 'repulsed' by the feeling of other people's skin and how that was common for dyspraxic people. That was a bit of a wake up call; I showed my mum and pretty much said 'see! I'm NOT crazy!'
I joined here mainly because every time I read these forums, I have another 'wow, that's part of this TOO? I'm NOT just being weird/awkward?' moment. And Sila prodded me into it.
I enjoy drawing (I'm a 'furry' artist), writing, and cooking, heh. Other than that, I'm a pretty bland person
That's it for now, really...if you wanna ask me anything, please do!
