| I've never had a meltdown at school (meltdowns are rare for me, I've only had maybe three that I remember), but nearly all of my shutdowns were at school. |

| I like hugs and kissing but unexpected touch is not fun. And I loathe tickling. |

| Taste for me is probably the worst. Hearing fluctuates. Sometimes it's really sensitive and sometimes it isn't. Touch can be bad, especially when pain is involved. I'm very sensitive to pain. But touch isn't super sensitive normally. It's probably a bit under-sensitive actually. I like tight hugs. |

| I love hugs as long as I initiate them or I know they're coming. Surprise hugs are not cool. Also tight hugs are the best ^^ |

| I don't remember how old I was exactly when I realized, but I remember distinctly when I was eleven believing that Harry Potter was real and I was going to get my letter that summer. And I still tend to get over-invested in television shows, to the point where I cry a lot when bad things happen to m... |

| I read the book maybe a month before I saw the movie and both were amazing. And Logan Lerman is now one of my favorite actors. |

| I happen to be a massive fan of the book, so I thought it was wonderful. But my mom went to see it with me (as I had nobody else to go with) and she enjoyed it (and she doesn't like chick flicks!). It is heavily focused on the romance, more so than the book I think, but the actors are really good, a... |
