Due to my autism spectrum and ADHD characteristics, I sometimes experience difficulties in my daily life and work. Currently, I am working on rebuilding myself on a different time line than the typical rhythm of life.

 

Social football, playing futsal with friends with mental illness and disabilities, is one of my important activities. While focusing on this activity, I am pursuing my interest in science and digital technology at my own pace through learning, and I am researching daily on devices and ideas to live well with my characteristics (irregularities).
