[@katrianem2124]

It’s kinda crazy how similar we are - diagnosis wise as well as personality. It’s cool to hear about others like me.

Hi! I'm a girl with autism, I'm 27 and I was diagnosed at age 7. I'm thankful that my parents and the schools were able to work with me so that I could continue taking mainstream classes, the schools when I was in second grade wanted to put me in special needs classes but thankfully my parents convinced them otherwise thankfully because special needs classes would not have challenged me academically and that I have a high IQ and was doing well as far as grades went. I had some minor behavioral issues in school, minor things like I wanted to keep my raincoat on on rainy days and I wasn't allowed to and so I would cry for awhile but still relented and took my raincoat off anyway. I liked my raincoat because it was so shiny and pretty and made me feel like a princess. And I would play with my spit, gurgling it, actually not realizing how much was in my mouth, but the sensation calmed me down, and teachers made me swallow my spit. Also, I noticed growing up in retrospect that most of my friendships were one sided. I also mistakenly referred to some friendships I had in my teens with boys I had a crush on as relationships. To me, asking if he wants to eat lunch together was asking him out and I told everyone we were boyfriend and girlfriend, it turns out I've never been in a relationship. I realized that just two years ago. It was also painful to learn that people aren't really interested in the things I talk about. That just because I like to talk a lot and they're listening doesn't mean they want me to keep talking. I'm different than many girls with autism in that I like to walk up to people and talk and I could talk for hours if I was allowed to. Because of COVID I'm not allowed to do that anymore, but I hope someday we can all talk again and I can maybe try to learn to do a better job of being conversational.

Happy birthday! Hope you have a wonderful day. I've got a video idea for you: how alcohol affects your autism (Like does it change how you mask, your triggers, etc). I've not seen anyone else do a video on the topic, so I guess you'd be the first!

[@neurodivergentme]

Thank you! Thats a great idea! I have actually been thinking about doing something along those lines because it's an under discussed topic that deserves more attention. I appreciate the video ideas 💕

[@LanaVegana]

I generally avoid drinking alcohol because when I drink more than like half a glass of it or I drink it too quickly, I get overstimulated way more easily.

[@neurodimensions7509]

I am very sensory seeking when it comes to food ! I also like to try new foods because I get bored of the same things easily. I am not diagnosed with ADHD but I’m starting to wonder if there’s a connection...💁‍♀️

[@neurodimensions7509]

Also Happy Birthday!!😊

[@LogoFreak93]

It's nice to meet another autistic person who likes to try foods adventurously. Many of us are so picky and I don't know why, I love to explore strange tastes, I even liked clamdy canes (clam flavored candy canes) my brother got me as a joke a few years ago. He was surprised I liked them

Happy Birthday!
