I came across this group when searching for gift ideas for my bf’s birthday a couple of months ago, thought what a lovely idea, and joined, then was too shy to say hello or really participate for ages. (I also joined r/secretsanta but that was very bad timing as it then closed!)

Do people disclose their ‘real’ names on here to others or just tend to go by usernames? For now, I’m ZZ and the rest of my username is accurate as my coffee is literally always cold because I tend to make it, get distracted and wander off, and forget about it. I should just give up and make iced coffee, but I remain optimistic.

I’m UK based, and fairly active on the ADHD/ASD communities having recently (only in the last 2 years) been diagnosed with both after having fallen through the cracks and had those missed all my life.

I love drawing, sketching, painting and am trying to create a home business out of my artwork etc. Chronic health conditions have plagued my employment history and also meant I’ve been shielding and at home since March of last year. Things are looking up a bit now though as I’m fully vaccinated.

I have one chonky cat, Petal, and I’m obsessed with her and cats in general.

Ask me anything and be forewarned I have this tendency to over-answer and create text walls- I always try to paragraph them though!

I might not answer that quickly especially today as I have a migraine and am only sporadically looking at my phone, but looking forward to getting to know you all!
