1. I have a lot of special interests that switch around a lot, but a constant one that I’ve had since I was really really little is cats. Not the musical, the animal. I know literally everything about cats. ask me about cats.

2. I’m not diagnosed yet, but I had a therapist who explained autism to me and why I probably have it, etc etc. She tried to tell my parents to get me diagnosed but they wouldn’t listen, so,, never got formally diagnosed. (yayyy ableist parents /sar)

3. No, except for that one therapist, and she wasn’t really specially trained or anything so I don’t think it counts.

4. I have a lot of names, but my current favorite is Valentino! I’m 13, my pronouns right now are they/he, and I’m genderqueer

5. I don’t have meltdowns very often, but when I do I try to find a quiet room, turn the lights off, and fight with my hands until I feel better,

6. Before That Therapist, I kind of hate to say this, but I found out through tumblr. I found the autistic community there, and the posts were a little too relatable. Like, “this explains my entire life” relatable. I talked to my therapist, and she agreed and tried to talk to my parents. Voila, autism. (That was in 5th grade)
