I was thinking… when you first walk into my apartment, you’ll probably notice the Disney artwork on the walls, the stuffed critters, and the dolls. So I guess you might think a child lives here. But if you look a little closer, you might see more.
The weighted blanket (Hi, Els! Somekitty hissed at Laura today.)
The noise-cancelling headphones, always within reach just in case
The behavior chart in the bathroom (for brushing teeth at night… I know, I know, but I hate it)
The behavior chart in the living room (for another necessary-but-hated task)
Aaaand the behavior chart in the kitchen (I REALLY want that flower hat!)
The “Mom folder,” for things I collect that need to go to Mom
The white boards
The ribbon on my backpack, which goes everywhere with me
The iPod with (cheap and awkward but decent-sounding) speaker (okay, not that weird, but YOU know what it’s for! And check out the little Japanese cat that someone-who-shall-not-be-named got for me… so cute)

I'm 23. I love Jesus, my service cat, and my mom. I have usually-high-functioning autism, though it depends on the day. I'm trying to figure out how I can live the life I've dreamed of with autism in it.
