Interview the person below you

I relate a lot to what you wrote about order, Isabella, consistency and precision are things I value highly and need.

You'll notice even on WP I'm a stickler for consistency in the ways rules are enforced. I need predictable patterns. My closet might be disorganised but at least that's predictable.

Yes I'm at peace with me. I'll never be "a normal person" but that's OK.

same question

I feel at peace with myself yes.

What do you think of nt s?

The more I look at my family I realise no one is really NT. Everyone has their own form of diversity; even if they aren't autistic, they have OCD or ADHD. I just looked up "forms of neurodiversity" and it includes left-handedness??? There are certainly a lot of left-handed people in my family, especially on my dad's (more autistic) side.

My view of NT is, therefore, mostly from television. NTs scare me because I don't understand their patterns.

I've met some great ones, some horrible ones and everything in between. Same for autistics so I don't like generalising I guess.

Is your family accepting of you?

^ They scare me, but I'm not suggesting they're bad people. I just get anxious because they seem so different.

My beau is NT despite having PTSD. Does PTSD make him ND?

My mother and I have never got on very well. She demeans me for my differences. I was much closer to my dad but he and his whole side of the family have passed away.

I have scores of aunts, uncles, and cousins, but they live in other countries and I don't see them. Most of them realise I'm a pretty odd duck.

same question

Not really except my dad. Its okay though i am good at acting.

Are you good at acting

I am, actually! I took courses in Dramatic Literature and also Acting, in University. I always did well.

I did some improv once at a training class for work and everyone was amazed. I heard about it for months.

I wish real life came with a script and emotion cues.

same question

I’ve always thought not, far to conscious of the fakery of it in high-school drama classes, but my wife’s told me I’m the only unreadable person she’s met... although that’s not the same thing really.

Do you draw/sketch?

I like to sketch and shade with charcoal.

How bright do you keep your monitor? The highest I ever have mine is Dot 3. I'm very photosensitive.



Yesterday I was on Dot 1 because of a migraine.

With you on that one: down so low everything is a hued grey!
I’ve also been known to wear sunglasses whilst using white backdrop programmes.

Have you ever been told you’re abnormally visually aware?

Define abnormally visually aware?

I do notice and fixate upon tiny details, but I'm so overwhelmed by visual stimuli that I keep lights off and don't look around very much. I'll see the tiny stone beside your shoe but I won't see you.

same question

Yes, I was in Paris on a uni trip with one of the mature students: pointing out all the things I could see that I found interesting: that was what he said after about an hour
He never defined what he meant by it though.

Do you find polyphonic music easier to follow than conversation?

I do not know what polyphonic music is.

Do you have trouble going to bed on time?

No problem with going to bed but I can't fall asleep without my meds.

How many hours of sleep do you need to function your best?
