I technically have autism, and this is why I’m gonna write about this. Now, one of my brothers, lets call him Ryan, has autism too. His is very different, he doesn’t understand social cues, sarcasm, has super hearing, amazing memory and struggles with textures. Because of his autism, he stands out and it’s kinda obvious.

Mine isn’t like that.

I have good hearing, and can get overwhelmed by noise. Being in a crowded room is too much for me to handle. I’m good at sarcasm but I struggle with understanding people. Textures are my big thing. I can’t have yogurt with fruit, it doesn’t match. If I’m eating a soft food, everything has to be soft or I can’t eat it.

Autism affects the little things. I can’t handle tags on the back of my neck. It makes me freeze up. I hate strong food, lemonade, strawberries, strong spices. I don’t like people; I don’t understand them.

I’m also very logical, this stems from my ASD. When people talk in shows about deciding between one or the greater good, I don’t even hesitate in picking the greater good. Why would you pick only one person? I don’t understand, but I can’t say that to people because they thing I’m some psychopath.

I think differently, I think in facts. I don’t like it, so I won’t do it. Why would I want to change what I already know I want? I just don’t understand, and people don’t understand me either.
