The Autistic Blogger

    By now, all of you should know that thanks to my autism, I had become someone that I never thought I would become. All my experiences, goals, and relationships have brought me up to this day, and most of it wasn't pretty. I know, I can never get rid of my disability, the other side of me, but that's what I always wished for because of my past, where I was insecure and everyone would choose me as the laughingstock. Sure, maybe it's bad for me, but others with the disability live their life happy and carefree, which I want everyone to live. Lots of people care about these individuals, want the best for them, despite the circumstances, and sometimes even forget that such 'disability' ever exists. I have read many stories about parents with kids, or just a parent's point of view, or even some with the disability itself. Many don't really interest me, or appeal to my liking, but some actually touch my heart, and it causes me to get a huge smile on my face. ...

    As much as I hate being discriminated, I hate it even more when others do it to other individuals. My cousin, who's 13 is the only other autistic individual in the whole family tree, but his is a little more intense. Like I've mention before, he actually doesn't really like to talk to anyone besides his family, and his personality also shows it, unlike me. Also, I might be sort of exaggerating at this point but whenever I'm on my Instagram (my blog account) and I look at posts that talk about autism in any way. As I take a peek at the comments, some say "congrats for being an autistic parent" or "congrats for knowing someone with someone with disabilities" etc. I think to myself, what's so special about that? People are no doubly spreading awareness about autism, and while most of them have good intentions of doing so, most of the people write things that look more like discrimination than anything else.     I visited a gofundme a while bac...

    It's been months since I've been writing blogs, and that's mainly due to the fact that I was in summer school. If you didn't read any earlier blogs, I was selected out of 623 high school freshman (and 8 others) to be in a accelerated class which grants me another accelerated class for my sophomore year. It was a great experience mainly since I actually had to take that class at another school (I was actually before I signed up for this certain class that there was a possibly that it was going to be in another school, but I still agreed since it was a great opportunity to resist. On the bright side, the other school was only 6 blocks away from my main school) and how since there was 41 students in that class, their were students from different schools and I was able to meet so many people, some which I talked to a lot, and some I rarely talked to. What was most exciting was that I had my best friend Jake in that class (were both extreme nerds) and I was glad that we ...

    I have meet lots of autistic individuals throughout my life, and of course they all have different personalities. Knowing lots of people and hearing their opinions is great and all, but hearing is all I've heard. As you might not heard, all the autistic individuals that I have meet are all verbal. I mean, that's a pretty good thing to hear but I hadn't gotten to met the more severe kids, the ones that actually need my help. I am more than welcome to give them a helping hand at any time, but I just hadn't gotten to meet one of the kids. Even if the kids at my school have a severe disability, they are still verbal which is kind of weird in two ways: Either the numbers are wrong and they're not as many non-verbal individuals as others would say or I am for some reason only able to find verbal autistic individuals and the other non-verbal individuals are somewhere else in the planet. When I thought I was never going to meet a non-verbal individual, I saw him. ...

    Fidget spinners, the best thing for now. They're everywhere, from schools to everyday roads. The spinners themselves are awesome. The idea of having this instead of Fidgeting with other things is game changing. Although I don't have a large fidgeting problem and I don't plan to buy one anytime soon, I have come upon a few situations with the spinners, but it's not the spinners themselves that are causing the problem, it's the people that are giving negative comments about them. It's not even the spinners themselves that are the problem that people are talking about, it's the people that are meant to use this.     When I first heard about them, they still weren't in consumers hands so I was thinking the same thing as others: this is a really cool idea. Fast forward two weeks later, and everywhere you go these things are also there. I don't find a problem with them like I said, because they seem like they can help lots of kids. I know that they w...

    Everything up to this point has shaped me up to what's going to happen in the future. I received yet another quarter progress report and I received yet another 4.0 GPA. At this point, getting a 4.0 seems rather standard for me and I don't feel excited anymore. Of course, if I get anything less than that (even a 3.99 which I'm pretty sure is impossible to get at my school), I will become disappointed. I also enjoy running. Running not only adds a extra cushion of fitness in my lifestyle, but I mainly enjoy the views around me, and that in itself shows me that I really love exploring. I also enjoy writing stories. When I was young, all the books I read (not including A,B,C's of anything like that) seemed uninteresting to me. The books that I enjoyed were adventure books (of course) and since their weren't any adventure books that I desired (all the books I read either followed the hero's journey or was in first person view in which I wasn't able to hear ot...

    Secret, if there was a way to describe my whole life up to know, it would be a secret life. Having to hide my true identity from basically the whole world, being someone who I'm really not, making sure that every second of my life I try to achieve that goal of fitting in with the rest of the normal community, and I am achieving it so far. Having the ability of achieving high GPA's, high IQ's, high social skills, high creativity skills, even high skills that seem rather useless such as high sneaky skills (it could be rather useful sometimes). Although my friends don't know the truth, random strangers who see me taking a peaceful stroll every day don't know the truth, I know the truth and that's enough to keep me up my feet and making sure that every last piece of the truth stays locked behind bars. Ever since the second grade when I found out the truth, I have never been quite comfortable with even just a random stranger asking "is anything wrong with hi...
