Like I said, my parents have been major supporters of mine in this living life. They've put in so much time and energy into me, sometimes at the cost of their own sanity. Occupational therapy, physical therapy, ABA therapy, cutting out teachers at IEP meetings when they weren't doing their jobs, the teachers that is.
The very last year of high school when I was about ready to start preparing for my freshman year of college.

While they were younger than me, the first younger sibling is nine years old with the youngest being six years old. So we did have to explain autism to them. And we just told them autism isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's just a different way of thinking.

When I was younger, I used to throw those kinds of events. I can't really go into the details of them because I hate thinking about that time because they did get dark. I needed second, third, and fourth chances before I got the help, turned my life around, and I get stressed and anxious about things, but it doesn't escalate to the point that those tantrums and meltdowns go to.

And I think people need to understand that people with autism, they will grow out of those meltdowns. They'll get the resources they need, especially if they're high-functioning. They just need a chance and time. I used to have these kinds of fits. I needed second, third, and fourth chance. You just need to give them a chance.

So one thing that's out of my comfort zone currently is driving a car and getting a license. Really don't get it. I've had a permit for a couple times now. That's expired. I've been super stressed to take it again, especially now that the book's online. Maybe it's because of the safety measures on the road that I definitely got to work on driving. But with everything else, I'm easygoing.

I like giving things a shot, especially if they're out of my comfort zone.
