Nah. I'll eat just about anything except peaches, which are repulsive in every manner and cause me to break out in hives.

I was 4 when diagnosed, which apparently is young. My older brother had been diagnosed long before, so our mother was already aware of the possibility I would fall somewhere on the spectrum.

I've taught myself to a B2 level in Swedish, so functionally fluent. There's a Swedish forum I use that helps me pick up on more native-like diction and vernacular. Currently, I'm learning sign language at school, and looking to get a certification for it. A friend teaches me Spanish since we plan t...

Diseases; it's the only one that's remained consistently. I saw a Frontline documentary about superbugs when I was a small child and that passion has been around since. For a while my dreams of becoming an infectious disease doctor were crushed.

I've also got certificates from various societies, but those don't feel as person...

I loved organising coins by date, particularly pennies since they're so easy to accumulate. I'd stack them, or lay them out like a bar graph for each year. Then I'd get bored of them, dump them into a container, and organise them again shortly thereafter.

I study my country's sign language at school for the last 3 years. I'll be taking a fluency seal exam in December. For me, nonverbal episodes are more like non-communicative episodes. I barely even blink. Sign language has some nonverbal utility when I'm sick or in a quiet setting, though it is limi...
