Questions about you
What is your first name? Susie
Age: 18
Location: Vermont, USA
Hobbies and Interests: Music is my main interest. I sing, play several instruments, and I compose classical music. I'm also fascinated with neuroscience and plan to major in that when I go to college. Then there's Magic: The Gathering - I don't like spending a lot of money on decks, but I do enjoy playing it. Cockatrice, anyone?
Why are you here? I wanted to hear how others perceived the world and how autism affects different people.
When were you diagnosed? (skip if you don't have a disorder): I was diagnosed when I was three (which is surprising, considering that I'm female and I was diagnosed in 2001).
Favorite subjects: My favorite subject is music, but I also enjoy logic-related classes (such as math and science). I enjoy English when I have a good teacher, especially the grammar component of it.
Year/Grade: Soon-to-be college freshman
Favorite music: Classical music (the newer, the better), jazz, and alternative. Some favorites:
Composers: Debussy, Mahler, Shostakovitch, Ticheli, Whitacre, Mackey, most other post-1990s concert band composers
Artists/bands: Panic! At The Disco, Twenty One Pilots, Regina Spektor, Sia, Jason Mraz
Books: I don't read as often as I should, but I loved The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls, Room by Emma Donoghue, Lord of the Flies (I forget who the author is), and We Were The Mulvaneys by Joyce Carol Oates.
TV shows/Movies: Bob's Burgers, The Simpsons, Brain Games, most Disney and Nickelodeon movies, and Tom and Jerry.
Instrument: In order of expertise: voice (if you consider it an instrument) - alto/tenor, clarinet (soprano, bass, alto), saxophone (alto, tenor), ukulele, piano, trumpet, and flute. I used to play others (trombone and french horn), but I don't anymore.
Do you like sports? Nah. I like fencing, playing ping-pong, and playing the occasional game of basketball, but nah.
Family: Mother, father*, 19-year-old brother**, and 30-year-old brother*.
* = not diagnosed, but I have a good feeling that they're autistc
** = officially diagnosed
Clothing: Usually a t-shirt or a rad sweater, jeans/leggings, flip-flops/sneakers, and no jewelry except my watch
How did you find this website? Google
Job: None at the moment, but I have worked at a couple different summer camps and as a babysitter, and I'll be working at a performing arts summer camp in a couple weeks.
Plans for the future? Possibly researching neuroscience, possibly composing music, possibly being a software developer, possibly a combo of two of those.
Any comments? I feel that I'm able to articulate my experience with autism well, so I do so whenever the situation is right. Most people can't tell that I'm on the spectrum, either, which makes me feel like an autism ninja.
