| I got that from my therapist...she basically said "wow, you must be very high functioning...I do a lot of the things you just described too, so maybe it's just overdiagnosed!" or something to that effect. I actually got ahold of my hospital records from when I was diagnosed so she could se... |

| I have a pair of rainbow infinity earrings that I got from Etsy recently, but so far nobody outside my family has asked about them...which may be a good thing because I don't really want to get wrapped up in a whole discussion about it, but I often silently hope people will recognize what they mean ... |

| Definitely. I've had fears in the past that I've grown out of, such as snakes, but my arachnophobia has only gotten worse as I've gotten older. I don't even know what it is about them that scares me so much but I can't be near them. |

I wouldn't drink socially. For me personally there just isn't much point in it, and I certainly wouldn't want to be drunk in... |

| I've never actually witnessed one thankfully. I already hate getting food on my face while eating, so being hit with someone else's half-eaten food would be awful. Not to mention the cleanup...I have of course seen people leave huge messes for custodians to clean up in other contexts, so I guess it'... |

| I'm quite fond of pop punk/alternative music personally, along with a bit of metal to some degree--mostly less hardcore stuff; I'm only just getting into it really--but I also really like musicals |
