Kira
My blogs
| Introduction | Hi, everyone! My name is Kira. At least to you people online. People are usually surprised when they learn I have autism. Many people are under the impression that autistic people are only good at math & don't talk. This is obviously a misconception. I didn't know I was autistic until after I had graduated high school. I was eighteen years old when I took a test with a psychologist to see if I was on the autism spectrum. In the end, it turned out that I have high-functioning autism ((HFA)) or Aspergers Syndrome. I can pretty much pass as "normal" person, with the exceptions that I'm not that great at making eye-contact, I'm generally quiet and a little aloof, social situations are very awkward for me, and I have many sensory issues. Sounds that wouldn't bother most people are incredibly loud and sometimes painful to me. Bright lights hurt my eyes, especially if they're flashing. Tastes and smells are sometimes overwhelming as well. On top of all of that, I don't really like people touching me. I'm a huge fan of J.R.R. Tolkien and his works. I love to write, draw, read, play the piano, paint, and other creative things like that. |
