| I hate having body hair. I shave it off almost daily. Maybe someday I can get laser hair removal, especially since I'm the ideal candidate for the procedure (fair skin with dark hair). |

| Naturally, it's ugly and wavy, but I always wear my hair straight. I can't live without my flat iron or lightweight shampoos/conditioners specifically designed for those with naturally straight hair (they reduce the amount of straightening I will need to do with the flat iron when my hair dries afte... |

Diagnosed:
Autism (obviously)
General Anxiety Disorder (on my medical records, it's listed as anxiety/depression)
There are a few other disorders I suspect I may have such as dyscalculia that I haven't been officially diagnosed with yet. |

| I personally don't mind them. And as a matter of fact, being labelled "high functioning" has helped me to avoid some of the stigma of being autistic on several occasions where I've been outed by family members. |

| Considering I was diagnosed in the DSM-IV era in the late 2000s, I personally consider myself an Aspie (though I am aware that Asperger's Syndrome was lumped into the current autism spectrum disorder diagnosis circa 2013 when the DSM-V was published). |

I've been to a few concerts in my life and I enjoyed them, plus I met some super cool people at the one I went to in August 2022 (I was probably the youngest one there too, as it was the day after I turned 16 and pretty much everyone ... |

I'm considering getting RCT 2 from eBay at some point. I would love to build my own death park in that game. >:D |

| I'm sorry, but how do people expect us to look? How exactly does somebody "look autistic"? Are we all supposed to look like infants or something? Unlike Down's Syndrome, we don't have any facial features that are exclusive to our condition. |
