Finally made my intro whoopee
My name is Yazmin. I'm a teenager and my birthday is coming up soon! I have many interests which I hyper fixate on from time to time. I was diagnosed with selective mutism and autism (then called Asperger's Syndrome since it was before the term got dropped) during early childhood. My mental health has been very rocky since middle school, but I managed to seek help on rare occasions. I'm also planning to visit a therapist IRL for support and ADHD, depression, and anxiety evaluation. The people I've met here are friendly although I still feel out of place. But I still hope to make good memories and improve myself with everyone. :)

@Yazminnz27 hi Yazmin great hear your starting to form some connections with some of our brilliant members and listener here! You have a really admirable perseverance, as someone who went through a similar situation to yourself I really resonated with the struggles you fought through on the road to being a teenager. Some of these issue are multi faceted and complex such ADHD and Asperger's (ASD) which by the way has recently become a topic you can select for a listener chat) hyper fixations like hobbies are great ways to wind down and get fully engrossed into a niche/hobby. We have a diverse and worldly listener base that may be able to provide support if you wanted to unpack some of struggles you mentioned in this post. Great to have you here!
