Let's see...well, when I was younger I went through a rubber duckie phase-I even went to a dozen online stores and filled up wish baskets with rubber duckies. I also loved Russ trolls, which I now have about 30 of. I went through a jones orange soda phase-I cut all the labels off the bottles and glued them into a little book, and kept the caps with fortunes on the inside-I have alot of those too hahaa!*
I actually went through a phase of reading books and books about kids with mental illnesses and disorders-which is where I found out about Aspergers. I still like to study on it, which is why my parents don't really believe me. My dad is kinda old fashioned anyways-he just thinks I'm 'unique' and my mom says 'quirky'.*
But anyways
I liked native Americans for almost 3 years. I was really obsessed with them.*
I liked pound puppies! I would spend time and time lining them up from biggest to smallest then just looking at them, then lining them up from tail to nose and back and forth. We used to have a BIG tub full of plastic dinosaurs all different species and sizes, and I would arrange all of them with their families again and again in the same spots on the rug and in and near the dinosaur mountain for weeks everytime the tub was taken out.
** We also had a big tub of fisher price animals, people, zoos, and all kinds of building with fencing structure for the zoo. Well, I would take all of the building and connect them to each other so they formed a big circle, then match all of the animals up with their picture on the fencing structures. Every time the tub was taken out. And this was when I was like 12 or 13. Wow. Hadn't really thought about it that much before.
** I was public schooled half way through kindergarten, then my mom pulled me and my brother out, then I returned to high school half-time last year as a junior, then full-time this year as a senior, so I had time on my hands to do these thngs
** I loved watching Forrest Gump-I watched it 2nd 3 times a day for about 3months. My dad is kinda like me sometimes, so he didn't care, and my siblings are usually compliant. It was like I needed my 'dose' of Forrest Gump.
** I like almost all movies with Tom Hanks.
*What about you?
I'm from Maine, I think I have high functioning Asperger's, but my parents are kindof old fashioned and don't really believe in things like this.
