30 Days of Autism Acceptance 2021
April 1st: Introduce yourself. Talk about who you are as a person. Your age, hobbies, special interests, family, etc. Anything you feel comfortable sharing.
Hi, my name is Ryan/Nicole (It’s a whole process)! I am 19yo, I am non-binary. I am from Ireland and have lived here all my life. I’ve only ever travelled to European countries. All of my SPINs (Special Interests) are listed in my bio, but in case you’re not bothered to check they are: The Beatles and Classic Rock, King Arthur and Medieval Times, Batman and Comic Books, Undertale and Video Games (especially RPGs), Liverpool and Football (soccer, if you will. Only got into it because of my dad so I could have something to talk about), Encyclopedias and Learning. Hyperfixations are: Fallout, Skyrim, Video Essays (so, so many video essays), Doctor Who, Star Trek (especially TNG), Harry Potter (not anymore), various classic rock bands, Marvel (I'm not a fanboy), DC (I'm slightly protective of Batman, especially the Arkham Games but that's it), PS4, PC, computer specs are a new one, Pokémon, BoJack Horseman, Friends, ATLA, Philosophy, Autism and other ND types(?), guitar playing, Bo Burnham, and I'll leave it at that for now. I have a mam, dad, and two brothers in my family. I was diagnosed with autism (then Asperger’s Syndrome) when I was 11, along with GAD (Generalised Anxiety Disorder).
I don’t really know who I am as a person. My main personality trait is being considered intelligent by basically everyone I’ve met and known for longer than like a week, so it’s kind of stuck with me as an indicator for who I am. I’ve also been called kind, sweet, and considerate many times, as well as respectful. I don’t know if I’d call myself that though.
Shoutout to @autie-j and @lesmiserabby for providing the prompts for this year's Autism Acceptance Month!
