| For me, it's not disinterest in pop culture... I feel like a lot of people just like what's put I front of them because other people like it and folks feel like they have to also. I like what I like. If it's considered "pop culture" , so be it. I do feel like I'm operating on a serious pop... |

When I smile, I SOUND happier, but it takes a lot of effort for me to sustain a full smile for extended periods or on command. School pictures were often very stressful and confusing.
I do smile quite frequently, but it's very faint and hard to tell unless you know my features. |

| I stumble over or mumble my words all the time. I find that I have good things to say, but, as I start talking, I have to put so much effort into the act of speaking (speed, volume, choosing words and actually forming them) that I lose track of the content of what I'm trying to say. |

| I'm non-visual. I chose the caring for humans option since I'm a clinician for kids on the spectrum and have a great clinical understanding of human behavior, but I'm actually highly linguistic, so I would have also fit in the writing category quite nicely. |
