I also have a strong interest in languages on the same level as my strong interest in film.

I am making sure a family tradition involving obesity in males comes to an end. In fact, I do intend on visiting my school's gym when Winter classes begin on January 6th.

I'm actually an empath and a highly sensitive person.
I do not easily admit this, because I do not fully accept certain sensitivities that I have to deal with. Sensory sensitivity is the aspect I'd easily accept as a part of autistic condition and a part of my being.
But emotional and social sensitivity isn't; it just doesn't suit the idea of myself and who I want to become. I'd only recently taken terms with it.

Relatively alexithymic and asocial.

The former because I willed myself since youth that I don't like being easily influenced as opposed to abuse or processing issues.
The latter is definitely came from the autistics' take of sociality.

And so I'm an asocial autistic who can afford sociality. A relative alexithymic because of certain intense sensitivity.


So yeah.
I embody both the social and emotional ideal, the social and emotional unideal, the social unideal and emotional ideal, and the social ideal and the emotional unideal like a fricking cycle.

Thus sometimes suddenly I became this all-encompassing wise person with insights.
Then an entitled brat with insight myopia at next.

Yet both can speak certain terms of emotions that others had yet to able to convey, and most of it just doesn't seem to be visible to the usual emotional vocabularies of many.
Ironic that others also think otherwise, that I have limits with emotions; and yet knowing emotions outside the usual and more 'alien' emotions better than most at the same time.

It's just fair, really.
If I'm an NT empath and HSP, I won't be the 'master' of relatively 'alien' emotions that's been myself -- I'd be the social and emotional ideal of most NTs, master of their usual and common emotions that autistics don't usually able to deal.
If I'm a socially driven autistic with these same traits, I'd focus mastering emotions that are alien to myself, emotions that I'm not. I'd burned out long ago, and I'd probably have identity crisis with it because I kept ignoring myself to favor what's not myself.

And yeah; as an autistic...
As I realize as an empath -- I'd confirm that most NT emotions, though just as any human, yet ARE alien and so are their social priorities along with it if compared to mine. This is no longer a 'theory' in my book.

I have (somehow) never broken a bone. I have, however, had a concussion.

After looking at Wikimapia, I concluded that United States have the best road network in the world.

When I’m in a fitting room, trying on clothes, I ask my service dog for fashion advice:

“What do you think Velvet? Does this look good on me? Yeah, I don’t like it either.”

I think that NVLD may be sometimes more disabiling than ASD or schizophrenia.

There are ppl with both nvld and asd as well as global developmental delay. They are heroes and need more support.


Everyone with nvld who got beat up for it by family who didnt know it was not an issue with stubbornness (my PSW's boyfriend had this happen according to her) needs at least an apology from them now.

Random truth- my brain is usually in a fog/haze except about a couple of particular things at a time

I strongly dislike with the opinion that ASD is always worse than NVLD and suppose that large number of individuals with NVLD have some sort of autism and (or) psychosis which means that they have to be diagnosed as having pervasive developmental disorder.

I spent the first five years of my life in a place about 2 hours from NYC but have never been there.

I have never read the book "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer". People say it's a classic but I never found any interest in it.
