Do you ever look at old photos of yourself and wonder...

Post Reply New Topic

There are no videos of me from my childhood days, because taping everything wasn't very popular where I live back in the 90's. I have tons of pictures though, because my old grandpa loved to snap photos so much that I started crying early whenever I saw the camera in fear of the flash.

Anyway, though I only have photos as a reference, I noticed a similar fact. On many photos I look very normal, I laugh, interact with people and do quite silly things, but there are some very few photos on which I give off an autistic impression. Sometimes when looking at a picture and when I can remember, I find myself thinking back to the day it was taken and remember that this photo was a good shot in a good moment in which I didn't do something that would be considered as autistic.

I don't have any videos of my childhood either...but in all my childhood pics...most particularly after the age of 7 I look like a train wreck....ragged hair..dark circles under my eyes...ugly glasses, androgynous clothes never smiling..always spaced out and very heavy

...i was pretty cute when I was really little..I look sorta like a preoccupied and intelligent little boy...a bit like the kid from The Shining...I still wonder what happened.
