It was a little difficult at first because my case worker wanted to know why I wanted to get tested when I looked fine, and communicated fairly normally.

I like to not only cuddle my stuffed teddy bears, but also use a MAM pacifier. I am very emotionally immature for my age, because my parents took my comfort object away from me when I was younger and still needed them, my pacifier when I was about 3, and my stuffed animal when I was 9.
