I am often too nervous to play against strangers, however the captain of the pool team at the bar I often play at said I am the first person in a wheelchair he has played against & would happily have me on the team - I declined the offer as due to my illness I don’t have the ability to make such commitments when it comes to tournaments etc - it try my hardest to make sure my birds are properly cared for & I often put them before myself - going out to tournaments would just be too demanding for me I think.

I have a couple of friends I play with once a week or so.

i was diagnosed at 14, I don't really know who brought it up, all I know is i was diagnosed through a place called CAMHs here in the uk, thanks to my school passing me through to them I was diagnosed with dyspraxia too. Things have always been noticable however, my family always just thought it was me in general.

Social stuff is kind of a hit and miss, I got so bad with it that I was having anxiety attacks multiple times a week during in college.

Because, it's honestly something I am proud of - i mentioned I go to the local bars etc, so I was more worried about people assuming "well, she goes to the local bar - she must drink" and of course bird lovers like myself being like "omg, she owns birds, I hope she doesn't smoke around them" - It's more of a social anxiety thing I guess :)

Mostly to see if I can help people understand EDS a bit better & find other people like myself of similar age - with similar interests.

I have heard things about autism being related to hyper mobility - but it’s not something I have looked into too deeply. I mean most of the population has some degree of autism so... I’m just gonna say it’s coincidence
