Apparently mom says I had plenty of imaginary friends, and took to talking about myself to alot of my toys. I distinctly remember being sure that there was a girl trapped in our sofa, so I sometimes reached my arms deep inside the sofa to reach out to her. Occasionally I could feel her presence and I was sure she was reaching out to me too. Over the years, her presence kind of diminished.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Between ages 4-8 I talked to rocks alot, arranging them in special patterns, hiding them in my pocket and storing them in secret places so they'd be comfortable, things like that.

I always did pretend games when I was a kid. When I was a kid I liked Doctor Who and I used to make out that I was the Doctor. The doorsteps outside my garden was the TARDIS. and Star Trek I used to take my chair outside and sit in the middle of the lawn and pretended I was the Captain of the Enterprise.

LOL. I had an imaginary friend when I was 13- like....the middle of last year. I think i knew he wasn't real, and I only talked to him in my head. He sorta calmed me down when i was upset. I was really,really, lonely.

I had a phycologist think I might be phycotic because I was always pretending to be some cartoon character. I admit I was pretty hardcore when it came to pretending. When they asked me stuff such as "You're really Jessie aren't you?" I knew I was but told them no because that would ruin the whole thing. Or asked me what my name was I told them Buster Bunny. And since Autistic people aren't supposed to pretend I was phycotic.
