Q: Sometimes, you feel a bit…different? Why would that be?
I currently see myself as plural, which basically means that I don’t identify as one singular identity. I am currently undiagnosed, but experience symptoms of disassociation and memory loss, as well as additional seemingly seperate identities outside of my own. I have created a bit of a guide to these below, which should help brush up on anyone that may be present at the time.
Who am I?
My name is Sheep or Sheepy, and I am a 22 year old creature with autism and ADHD, as well as some anxiety and depression issues that I am usually at mental war with. Despite this, I strive to be a positive role model that can embrace everyone for their own unique identity, and create a safe and encouraging space, where people can hang out, and feel at home.
I work in Customer Service for a Disability Agency, which I work on a part-time basis. Outside of work, I am usually on Twitch, sleeping, or thinking of ideas for creative use. I feel safer online than in real life, especially with communication, not having the awkwardness of me having to try and interpret social cues and neurotypical behaviour makes things a lot easier for me, so you’ll likely see me around a bit, especially on Discord!
Online, I tend to be quite chatty, and very distractible, drifting between chill and chaotic in a heartbeat, depending on my mood and the context. I do hyperfixate a lot too, on topics such as reading, writing, indie games, storytelling, media analysis, and disability/LGBTIQ+ experiences.
It’s a little hard to cover all the bases of everything I am, and what I do, so I made some Q&A questions to help flesh out a bit more for you! Of course, I’m always wanting to provide the best experience for this, so this may be regularly updated to suit what most people ask me!
Q: What are some of your favourite games?
I love games that make you think, as well as games that have exploration/discovery involved, I have a heart for indie games, especially those with charming characters. Some of my favourite games are: Omori, Outer Wilds, Hollow Knight, Undertale, OneShot and Breath of the Wild!
Q: Why did you start streaming, and what’s your motivation?
I started streaming as a way to try and grow my social skills, as online interaction was much easier to test the waters of then real life. Streaming allowed me to find ways to communicate better, and boost my capacity to interact with people. Since then, I’ve grown a lot and the simple little idea has turned into much more of a passion! My motivation is to try and make even one’s person day just a little bit more…BAA-Rilliant! As I have this goal in mine, I am able to use that as my primary driving force!
