I was diagnosed at age 14 or 15 but it wasn’t put on paper until I was in my 20’s. My mom -also speculated that I had it. I had a lot of the classic signs when I was a little kid. I was non verbal until I was 4. I had sensory issues. I hated tags and I had to wear certain socks. I carried around my blanket until I was 12. I was briefly misdiagnosed when I was 17 but then correctly rediagnosed when I was 18. My older brother has moderate autism and my mom thinks my dad had it as well.

I also love the supernatural. That and books on folklore have been my thing since I was 11. I’ve recently gotten involved in books on economics and sociology.
