I wholely recommend climbing/bouldering walls. Gets you fitter, most people are super friendly and if you pick a regular day you'll meet people. Most of them do a intro to climbing course where you can meet people and then a beginners or intermediate weekly session where you can meet people and get some guidance on getting better

Yeah there is which I'm greatful for. I think that's a very good idea. When we got together we talked about that kind of thing and I thought we were on the same page. But I think she had all intentions to, but feel back on habits of old that I didn't realise were there until later in our relationship.

Yeah. From my POV it's how we were made to socialise and be part of our community. The rise of the internet and life expenses have made this smaller and smaller but that's a rant for another day haha

It's not just about taking on advice. It's having different views points and trying to understand how others who also have autism see it. At the end of the day it doesn't matter what is said on here, I have to decide what works best for my situation but having more information and how people see it, allows me to understand it better.

Yeah I've tried and she has got a bit of support with it but because it doesn't 'fix all the problems' she doesn't fully commit. I'm trying to explain that it won't just fix things and soon she's going to have help from our local council mental health team so hopefully something more intensive will help her

If you have friends they will. Even with how you're feeling right now, if one on them sudden had some horrific news and asked to just talk to/at you, you'd show up right? They'll do the same. It's great that you're reaching out to people here, reach out to people in real life as well. It might not be perfect if they have other commitments, but I'm sure they will find time to help. Hell write it all down and DM me if that'll help!

Climbing/bouldering. As a not overly sporty nerdy type, I found this to be amazing. All the climbs are called problems and require you to think about how you're using your body to solve them.

99% of the community is amazing because it's not really a vs sports in a traditional sense. It's you vs the wall and even if you do something that is 'easy' for someone else if they can see you tried hard they will be pysched for you.

There are lots of beginner groups and meet up days or if you go on regular days, you'll end up talking to the same people about the climb you're doing so you build friendship as an adult which is difficult otherwise.

Also it's not in front of a screen which I love.

I'd try looking for your local gym and doing the intro course and seeing if it vibes with you.

What are you using it for?

I'm also from the UK. Could I ask for a recommendation and price range for your panels? I love the idea of it and know the upfront costs are high but haven't actually looked into it.

Man that's so cool. Imitation is the best form of flattery. This is just my finger on a phone screen but the ideas add up. Going to see what I can do with it with some more time! Thanks again

Yeah that makes sense. You can see that from your timelapse. The way you remove the sketch shows that a layer, and the way the colour blends show a layer. And the way it blends between mountains to backdrop before you remove thay sketch. It's a really cool affect! My stuff is way more layered and blocky so trying this is blowing my mind a little 🤣

That's so cool! Thank you so much

Amazing thank you!

Do you have any more detailed explaination on what that means haha! No worries if not as I understand this isn't a tutorial, just curious as I have only ever used block colour and have no idea how to go about this. I will try either way 🤣
