suddenly realized what autism is. one day about two weeks ago i was looking for nutritional ideas for better health and stumbled onto a YouTube video about autism and health. it seemed to me like being retarded? nah im not autistic or am i? when i saw so many relatable characteristics with me and autism in others i have to admit this was exactly the way i grew up. not liking other kids my age and relating to older adults is what struck me so hard. others on here are artist like me. it filled in those lonely days i couldn't find any friends to play with. i remember filling an entire wall with drawings in my room. when i think back about it, it just proves to me how single minded i got. conspiracies was another big deal with me, my god, this too is another thing we all go through? i realize im a "high functioning autistic" i am aware of these things and can "mask" them and there are are different levels. well hello anyway, lol
