I haven't used this forum in a very long time.
This forum is where I first began to discover the answers to all of my questions.
When I was in the 7th grade was when I finally discovered autism spectrum disorders and how I related to them. I found a lot of information and comfort on this website. I never did meet a lot of friends here though, which I would like to.
That was in 2013 I believe. Now, in 2017, all of my diagnoses are consisted of autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, schizoaffective disorder bipolar type, depersonalization/derealization disorder, and I supposedly may have borderline personality disorder.
I've gone through a lot since 2013- lots of ups and downs. I went inpatient in crisis psychiatric hospitals a total of 4 times for things like depressive episodes with suicidal thoughts, psychosis, self harm, suicidal thoughts from anxiety, and things of that nature.
But enough of that; I am a big nerd. You can call me Avery, Av, or Serena. I'm a PC gamer, an artist, a poet, and an instrument player. Feel free to message me if we have an interest in common. :^)
