Valerie
Age:
19
Location:
California (Northern)
Hobbies and Interests:
Anything about traveling/geography/cities,
Writing short stories (especially ones that are hilariously strange but with a deeper side) Drawing
Painting
Singing
Anything related to Music
Going to as many theme parks as possible
Dance Dance Revolution (and the look-a-likes)
Video Games (mostly old school)
Theatre
Astronomy
Philosophy
Politics
Physics
Math (it calms me down in some situations)
Sociology (I like studying people as if I’m on another planet)
Psychology (I’m mostly obsessed with finding out more about ASDs)
…..oh, and did I forget reading? I loooooooove to read.
Why are you here?
Exploration and discovery, as usual.
My diagnosis history is pretty mixed up, but to my understanding at this point, I was informally diagnosed as having an “autistic disorder” after a few minutes of talking with a nurse. My schools took this as a true diagnosis, gave me accommodations, and told me that I have autism (for sure) at age 16. My family, however, believes that I am totally neurotypical, and didn’t tell me about the school’s “mix-up” until about a year ago.
(Maybe I should make a whole other thread for this stuff!)
I’ve been very confused lately.  I came here to ease some of this confusion, along with just getting to know people and have a great time, and this site has helped a lot so far.
When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder): The informal diagnosis was at age 7.
Favorite subjects: Science, English, Math, History……just about all of them, except P.E.
Year/Grade: Still in 13th…..I need to take more credits!
Favorite music:
Anything upbeat, except maybe mariachi music.
Books:
A Wrinkle in Time
1984
A Prayer For Owen Meany
An Abundance of Kathereines
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead
Arcadia
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
Stargirl
Aquamarine Blue 5
The Fountainhead
The Importance of Being Earnest
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
TV shows/Movies:
Spongebob Squarepants
Futurama
Jeopardy
Heroes
Whose Line is it Anyway?
Mythbusters
All That
Rugrats
Daria
Discovery Channel
The Hitchhiker's Guide To the Galaxy
Legally Blonde
Shrek 1, 2, and 3
Ice Age 1 & 2
The Emperor's New Groove
Music and Lyrics
Galaxy Quest
Never Been Kissed
Mean Girls
Cars
Monsters Inc.
Stardust
The Truman Show
Accepted
National Treasure 2
Instrument: Piano, Voice
Do you like sports?: Only when I don’t get hurt or fall to the ground gasping for breath because of them. I like bowling, skating, running, and especially DDR.
Family: I love my family, even if they are all NTs (to my understanding) who don’t really understand me. They go above and beyond to try to take care of me in every way.
Clothing: Varied, but mostly trendy/preppy with a little modification.
How did you find this website? I don’t even remember. It was over the internet somehow.
Job: Summer Vacation. I’m a student, but I might be looking for a job soon.
Plans for the future? The more career exploration I do, the more unsure I am of what I’m going to be doing after I’m done with college. I shouldn’t be too scared, since I’ll be staying in school as long as I possibly can, but a revelation soon would be nice.
Maybe I'll just take over the world.....
Any comments? Wow, I wrote way too much! |
