My Introductions! [Introduction]

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 😮‍💨) 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

Community Plug

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.

  • Hi Fern! Did you know that comic sans has purpose? I learned that it's good for dyslexia. I don't have a source, but I thought that was interesting.

    Just a side question, are you the fern I know from elsewhere online? If so "Hello again!", if not "Hello for the first time."
