I'm 26 years old and live in the forested paradise known as New England. I was diagnosed at age 2, which is incidentally where my earliest memories begin. I have an overwhelmingly complete long term memory that follows me around like a ball and chain strapped to my right leg. I'm gifted in the areas of ideation and its accompaniments, I express these faculties through the writing process. I feel average most of the time, but my brain keeps making these monumental leaps that leave me gasping for air barely able to say more than, "incredible." In High school and before, I was an atypical student with amazing abilities hidden behind suppression. When I turned twenty five and stopped suppressing certain unsavory details of my past and personal reality, the floodgates opened up and I went nearly insane, its not a fun topic for this one.
My perseveration, or narrow all-encompassing interest, if I had to pick one, is without a doubt my imagination. They say that many of us on the spectrum hide behind an awareness filter to cope with our sensory issues and/or problems functioning in the world, well I used mine to protect myself from physical and emotional abuse. Naturally this gave me a solid imagination, its like a playground inside my skull where anything is possible.
