| In order to walk at graduation, all seniors at my school are required to do a senior project. I'm doing mine on autism, and to get the required 30 hours into the project, I have decided to create a blog along with the main part of my project. However, this will not count as part of my project if no ... |

In one word: Here!
Not "here", not "Here.", but "Here!" (If that makes any sense, anyway.) |

| When you think about it, pretty much everything is in your head. Pain, love, color, joy, sadness, everything. If someone is crying because their pet/parent/friend died, people don't just say 'Get over it, it's all in your head.' Yet it IS all in their head. People who use the term 'It's all in your ... |

| Do they get enough iron in their diet? I heard that lack of iron can cause you to be tired and sleep a lot. |

| Not too long ago, I had NO idea how to talk to people. None. By imitating my first real friend, I'm now able to hold a 'normal' conversation. Also, when I come to a situation where I don't know what to say, I'll pull something from the internet ("lol", "awesome", and such. Although, sometimes I get ... |

| My cats and my best friend understand me. I want the rest of the world to do the same. (Or at least some of it.) When I get out of school, I want to get a job I don't hate that pays the bills and such for a small house. I want to have 3 cats. I want to know more interesting but ultimately useless fa... |

| To me, books are like movies. As I re-watch movies I like several times, I'll read a book again if I don't have anything else to read (I read a LOT.) In most good books there are parts that I fall in love with, but I can never remember the entire thing word-for-word, thus I want to read the book aga... |

| I can't seem to hold emotions. I can't stay angry for more than a minute or two. I can't be extremely happy for very long, only mildly happy. It seems that I can stay sad the longest, but I run out of that too. After a while, I just start to feel either anxious or just empty (empty not being a bad f... |

| More and more, it seems like people are forgetting what makes humans human. It seems like we must all walk, talk, and act the same. We with autism are puzzles, or cats, and I hate it. I think what makes us human is that we are capable of the most horrible cruelty and the most sincere kindness, and t... |

| I like to rock a bit, and tap my fingers on hard things, but I like hand flapping best. My mom got me to stop doing it in public, but it really helps me calm down and feel good when I'm getting anxious. I need to stop rocking so much, it starts as swaying that can pass for normal, but soon it gets n... |

| I used to not care at all and that bothered me, so I gave myself a reason to care. Think of all the good things that person could have done if they were alive. That person must have had people who loved them and friends, so it must have caused a lot of pain. Dying must have hurt. Still, when I see a... |
