6. Or when did you find out?

idk, maybe last year. i heard a lot about autism online and thought it sounded scarily accurate to myself, so i spent like a week googling shit. it ended up explaining a lot of strange behaviors/thought patterns i have lol

1. Petal Crash and Animal Jam, definitely

2. diagnosed at 10!

3. not specifically for autism but if it counts at least 2 of my old therapists have tried to essentially get me to be less autistic. not in a "let's try to mitigate the things that cause meltdowns and such so you can be in a better headspace" way, in a "Why Aren't You Normal" way : o/

4. Gio/Champ, 16, it/he/honk/they, nonbinary trans boy!

5. turn up my music, change it to a song that fits the feeling of the meltdown, and loop it for a while. maybe also draw if i can deal with the irritation of getting things wrong while i do

6. i don't quite remember if i was explicitly told then, but i remember hearing about it in the office after the person had an idea of my symptoms. at the very least i've been aware of it since i was 13
