Hello!

I am an autistic adult that is seeking to turn many years of difficulty into something fun and positive by attempting a couple of Guinness World Records in the hope of raising some money for the mental health charity CALM. I am trying to make positive changes to my life and mindset, and one of the ways of doing this is going way outside my comfort zone (which wasn't really a comfort zone!) by attempting some of these records for charity. I also want to show that positive, fun, humane, ethical things - even slightly silly things - can be good and empowering for all of us in addition to the more 'serious' stuff!

However, as an autistic adult with not the greatest circle of friends, I am trying to liase and find a venue in Norwich, a community space, with a handful of volunteers to help me record the attempts, do the witness statements and time-keeping. If you would like to collaborate or help me organise this fun community venture please get in touch! Any suggestions are very welcome! Like I say, it is simple, low-key but hopefully fun and I would like to collaborate with a few volunteers if people are interested. I have an interview with Future Radio in the pipeline very soon too!

Thanks an wish me luck!
