Oooooh @ChuChuExpress you’re from the U.K.! *waves*
I have ASD, inattentive ADHD and social anxiety disorder too. I’m kind of lucky in that my childhood wasn’t traumatic in any way, there was no real bullying or anything, and I had a good home life. I find socialising difficult, and like others have said things are a lot easier with The Sims. It’s much easier getting a job in Sims 2/3/4 than it is IRL, too.
I’ve also been fascinated by large families (I wouldn’t have one myself, though) so I enjoy playing big families/getting my Sims to have twins/triplets etc. I tend to never play with premades, I prefer creating a couple in CAS and guiding them through their lives. I’m much more of a “actually play the game” type player as opposed to someone who can spend hours in CAS and/or who spends hours building their perfect house. I’ve never made a Sim version of me, I wouldn’t know what traits to choose for a start! I often create redheaded Sims... and sometimes I find the male redhead Sim really cute... *cough*
