2 days ago. It's more of an illustration than a drawing.
An actual drawing was more like 3 weeks ago.



Had you ever abruptly confessed something to someone?

Online, a lot and totally random.
In real life, not a lot but it is done as abrupt, as shocking and out of place possible.


Same question.

I impulsively confess things all the time.

Do you like to collect things?

I'm not naturally impulsive.
My self control is unreliably inconsistent.

I won't know if I have all the discipline at one moment, only after an hour or weeks long there may not be any for the same range amount of time.



If you could, would you try to sleep upright?

No, as it probably would be bad for my feet.

Do you have a trillion years experience and a PhD in every field?

8O Of course not. I have a BS in Biology and I'm a grad school dropout.

Do you require complete darkness when you sleep? Do blinking lights and lights from electronics keep you from sleeping?

Not complete darkness, but near-to darkness. I bought and installed a rod for BLACK OUT curtains because the sunlight bothers me if I try day-napping. I can usually tolerate a little background electronic light, so long as it's not too "in my face." I've fallen asleep at night with a lamp on by accident, but the dim and old-style fluorescent bulbs didn't bother me much. Can't take any natural light or artificial light directly beaming at me.

QUESTION: Thinking about who you are, and considering what about who you are is caused by your Autism...What is the ONE best thing, and the ONE worst thing about having Asperger's for you (meaning, if you were suddenly to become NT, you'd no longer have these two good/bad qualities)?

I'm diagnosed with Moderate Level ASD, as opposed to Aspergers or HFA. I'd say the best thing is my lack of interest in social norms or social conformity. I'm perfectly happy on my own. I don't even watch pop culture media or try to copy others in any way. I also really like stimming.

The worst thing? Maybe my photophobia (sensitivity to light), because it's nauseating and causes panic attacks. I can barely leave the house even on cloudy days. I can't function even inside the house, until the sun sets.

Same question

... 'Lack of filthers' are both the best and worst most autism relevant trait I have.

But one each?
Best? Asociality. But even asociality can be cultivated with years of life experience. I just don't have to do that.
Worst? Dysregulation. Even before I had any clear language comprehension, I already knew I want to get rid of it.

I already can tease out which is autism and which is an inherited issue -- just by looking at my family tree, their lifestyles, their patterns and it's issues...
Just deduce from there, I'd know what kind of issues I will very likely have if I were an NT.




Same question.

ANSWER:
To me, almost all of my autistic traits are "double-edged swords" (things that have both favorable and unfavorable consequences).

For example, I'm hyperaware of colors, smells, tastes, sounds, and textures in my environment. This means that certain aspects of the world around me can absolutely fill me with joy. I'm able to see things others cannot. My pattern recognition is fantastic, and it makes me pretty good at making observations, identifying what I am seeing, and taking photographs (I am a biologist and a naturalist).

HOWEVER, other aspects of the world (probably the majority) make my life a living hell. Loud noises, too many people, strong odors, and too much sensory input in general. It can be crippling at times.

My question for the next person:
Have you always lived in the same city/region? Would you ever consider relocating? If so, where would you go? Why would you choose to go there?

No I have not always lived in the same city / region.

I lived in two countries growing up, and in different cities / regions when I was in Uni or working.

I now own properties in different places very far apart, but my house remains "home base".

I don't think I would relocate entirely from my home. I need to be around my mother who is elderly.

Yes. I lived in the same city my whole life.
But... I'm not sure where I would move or that if I want to except nowhere.

The only other and plausible option would be at my mom's birthplace.
Which is islands away, where most of my maternal side of relatives live.

Upside is that I have a lot of relatives and it's cheaper to be there.
The downside is that I don't speak the regional language well and with lesser modern facilities.



Same question.
