1. Do you fit in with your gender role? Ah, probably not so much; while I do some feminine things, I do some masculine things too. A mix, I guess.

2. Are you diagnosed with AS/unsure/curious/NT? Undiagnosed at the moment, but I'm supposed to be "evaluate[d] on [my] autistic tendencies" on Wednesday. We'll see.

3. Are you picky about food/eating? Not really on food; I don't like a few things (peppers, onions, pickles), but other than that, I'm pretty neutral to everything. Eating, on the other hand... I'm pretty picky on the manners associated with that. Audible chewing puts me on edge; chewing with the mouth open has me out of the room. Slurping, making rude noises, ect; ick.

4. Are there any body parts/functions that REALLY bother you? Yep.

5. If you were an X-Men, what mutant power would you have? I've never seen X-Men; I'm not even sure which one does what. I'll say the weather thing, because weather is cool.

6. What is your biggest struggle? Getting things done, usually. (Guess how much I'm procrastinating right now...)

7. What is a trait you have that you feel is an advantage? Um... being able to think.
