Kadin McElwain: Conquering Autism Through Family Support, Advocacy, and Digital Storytelling โ€“ An Inspiring Journey of Personal Growth and Resilience

Hmm. As a matter of fact, I do. For some reason, I hate peanut butter and nuts and breakfast cereals and stuff like that. And I think it's definitely because texture, because it's weird. I used to love peanut butter when I was younger. I would have it on pancakes. I would have it on pretty much anything. Then one day, I just pretty much stopped loving that.

In fact, focusing on academics in this college is one of the reasons why I don't socialize as much as I'd like to.

And I'm not into that.
