Hi there! Disabled autistic looking to room with other disabled folks, or disability-friendly roommates. Ideally, someone who is familiar with autistic individuals, but someone willing to learn is also cool.

I sew fursuits and do YouTube captioning as side-gigs. If there isn't room for all my sewing and costume-making equipment, I can leave it at a relative's place. But a space to do my work at home would be great!

I love video games, particularly fantasy adventure games like Final Fantasy XIV or Baldur's Gate 3. If you like them too, I'd love to play with you!

That said, I can get worn out from socialising easily, so may spend most of my time in my room. It's not because I don't like you! I just need lots of alone time to decompress. I show my love through buying your favourite snacks or offering to drive you to the airport, rather than hanging out and chatting a lot.

I have a good record of keeping communal areas clean. I always do my dishes.

I don't throw parties, and tend to live a pretty quiet life. You won't have to worry about coming home to a place full of strangers and blaring music. But if you want to host something at home that's ok! Just let me know in advance so I can hide in my room. 👩‍💻

I own a car, but am happy to use on-street parking if there isn't a space available on the property.

I don't own a pet, but I looove animals. If you own a cat or dog, I would be thrilled to live with you!

I can feed myself, but can't cook for others, as I'm only capable of very simple meals - e.g., microwave food from Aldi.

I can't wear headphones very often unfortunately, as they make my tinnitus worse. But I tend to have my volume set very low anyway, as I have sensitive hearing.

I always appreciate hard-set rules and guidelines. If you need things done a certain way, just tell me and I will follow instructions.

Currently I'm away from Brissie and won't be back until the 25th of Nov. But please let me know if you're keen to room with me! We can schedule for when I get back.
