When I was a kid, I wanted to be a fashion designer and seamster, but I gave up because I thought I had to go to a school for that and get a degree.

I enjoy working on cosplay, and I'm super proud of how it's going, not even having ever had a lesson in sewing before. I want to make more clothes.

Autism=INTJ on steroids??? 😭
Being INTJ is already something else because it's considered one of the rare personality types, but then, if you also happen to be autistic, there are things that fall in line with both, and then, for me, it just intensifies it. -
Now I understand why folks were always asking if I was autistic, growing up. I didn't even understand or notice because I didn't know what the signs were. 🤷🏽
-
But, what actually caught my attention was when I was 15 and finally made friends. We'll, sort of, anyway. I became self-aware that year and realized a lot of behaviors of myself that others never did or felt weren't normal, like walking around with ear plugs in all the time or crying when it was too loud or crowded.

Still can't get over the fact that my said "You can't have autism. I made sure you didnt." Like, ma'am? Tf?

Her proof:
-I was in school at 4
-I could talk
-I could walk
-I could write
What she dismissed:
-I struggled with reading and spelling until 12, and I still struggle with math.
-I mostly used physical gestures, and I still do, without thought.
-Earplugs everywhere I went and had episodes when there was a lot going on
-Family and strangers flatout asking if I was autistic. -
And now?...
I don't even know how to talk to my parents about it. -
I had to wait until I was an adult to finally get tested on my own, and now that I actually have the diagnosis officially on paper... What am I supposed to do?
I already figured from 15, but they brushed it off. 18, I was certain. The whole time they thought I was making it up. Now, if I tell them, they'll probably think I lied during testing... -
I hate myself for knowing that this is what caused it... f---ing sick...

Keep away from my personal space, on the Personal Space Show.

Listen, I'd watch that if it were an actual thing.

Ugh... I'm nervous about the job. Since I wasn't hired on the spot, I doubt I'll be hired at all...
-
Like, I'm sort of in a financial break, right now, so it'd be a good time to pick up another job while I have money to fall back on...
