Hi everyone 
my name is Jett Appleby and I am 18 years old and autistic. I am a proud demons supporter since the very beginning of the 2012 season. When i first got on board with the demons, we were at our darkest hour. I remember often being very disappointed at our game performances considering we often lost by 10 goals or more. However I like to think that supporting a mid to bottom afl side as a child builds character. And oh boy did I go through a lot of character building 
However the advantage of supporting a poorly performing team at the time was that when we won it felt so so so good
My dad who is also a demons supporter forced me to be a dee's fan as a kid at a time when we were struggling and I bloody thank him for that (he told me I was initially keen on Collingwood lol)
My dad has been a demons supporter since sometime in the 1980s. My dad moved from the UK to Australia in 1982 and sometime after got hooked on AFL coming from a Tottenham spurs soccer following background. He has never watched soccer since and been all afl and he maintains that afl is the best sport on earth
When we started to improve from 2014 onwards I used to enjoy the upwards trend because I always knew that the next season would always be better then the last.
And when we did eventually win the flag it felt so special because I felt like I worked hard as a supporter coming from nothing and rising up from scratch. Like I did heavy lifting to get us there. Not just backing who was successful at each time.
Now I am autistic and I have a trama about bullying because I have experienced awful bullying in the past so I humbly request you be nice to me and welcome me with open arms
