So, I made an account ages ago. Never did much because of issues in real life getting in the way and just forgetting about the site's existence.

I hope to right this wrong now that I am doing more work related to ASD now.

I would go into details and stuff about myself but I would go ON AND ON so if you guys wanna ask me any questions and I will answer them :)

When it comes to personal things It doesn't matter to me, due to my work my real life details are already online with websites and social media.

Well it makes me anxious like constantly, I am always in an anxious state. If something comes along that am new to puts my anxiety on overload.

I can't filter out sounds, I hear EVERYTHING in my environment at a near identical level. Changes in lighting also causes stress.

I get hyper interested in various almost random topics and they change almost weekly.

I am very set in my ways and change in daily rutiens.

Spelling and speaking have been two very big issues for me, I can talk but I feel it was sort of a forced learn to talk when I wasn't ready as a small child. I prefer not to talk and when I do Its very anxious process. I can convey so much more in a form like this (writing) then in vocal conversation.

In conversation I can't understand sarcasm or double meanings of words/phrases. This leads to me being offended or saddened at "jokes" directed towards me. I view the speaking world in a literal sense so I take what is heard spoken literally.

There are probably more that escape my mind right now.

Sadly I am unable to work because no employeers in my area understand/care about autistic employees/people. So I have shifted my attention to starting a non profit locally to offer support and help to the community who are effected with or by autism disorders. http://www.rosscountyautism.com/
