About Me: Female, 25, MN, member since Dec 2007
I'm autistic with the PDD NOS diagnosis. My fascination is into small things like insects and plants. Along with photography and art, writing is one of my big passions. Sometimes my passions wax and wane, but one thing that seems consistent is my desire to help other pe ... [More] ople understand what autism is like from my perspective. Why my perspective? Because when you meet one autistic person, you’ve met one autistic person. Autism is as unique as the person who has it. Some things I share people can relate to. Other things I share may not.  Being closer to the aspergers end of autism, I’m put in an interesting situation. I can relate with many of the things that autistic people go through and some of the things non autistic people go through. At the same time that also presents its own challenges. One challenge is being taken seriously by people.  People on the higher end of the spectrum often get mistaken by the general public as if acting like they are autistic. This can present challenges when trying to get support and services one really needs. That’s why I try to share my story, its struggles and joys to help people gain better understanding and to cut through misinformation and stereotypes.

P.S. I have a blog if you want to read more about my thoughts:
