Hi, everyone! My name is Kira. At least to you people online. People are usually surprised when they learn I have autism. Many people are under the impression that autistic people are only good at math & don't talk. This is obviously a misconception. I didn't know I was autistic until after I had graduated high school. I was eighteen years old when I took a test with a psychologist to see if I was on the autism spectrum. In the end, it turned out that I have high-functioning autism ((HFA)) or Aspergers Syndrome. I can pretty much pass as "normal" person, with the exceptions that I'm not that great at making eye-contact, I'm generally quiet and a little aloof, social situations are very awkward for me, and I have many sensory issues. Sounds that wouldn't bother most people are incredibly loud and sometimes painful to me. Bright lights hurt my eyes, especially if they're flashing. Tastes and smells are sometimes overwhelming as well. On top of all of that, I don't really like people touching me. I'm a huge fan of J.R.R. Tolkien and his works. I love to write, draw, read, play the piano, paint, and other creative things like that.

A Wonderful Weekend

Hopefully, everyone will pardon me for any spelling/grammatical/other errors I make while writing this post. I'm a little tired from my long but amazing weekend. My best friend came to stay for the weekend, and we've been having a great time! I helped her with some videos she had to make for her online summer course, which was quite fun! I have to say that I think they came out to be absolutely epic! :)

Also, while I was at my grandparents' house today along with other relatives and my best friend, I drew two complete pictures in my sketchbook. Usually, sketching occurs, but the drawings never really get completed. Today, however, must have been a good day for creativity! So, yes, I was very happy! :) That, and the food, though admittedly not the most health-conscious in the world, was wonderful as well! Hot dogs, macaroni and cheese, watermelon, baked beans ((which I don't eat)), potato chips, peach cobbler ((which I didn't eat either, because my grandmother puts way too much cinnamon in hers, unfortunately)), and blueberry pound cake ((which I didn't eat mainly due to the fact that I was incredibly full, what with all of the other good food)). There was also sweet tea, as well as lemonade and soda. I mostly had lemonade, though I had a soda later on as well. I can only thank God that I do not yet suffer severe heartburn, or else, I would not be feeling very well at all right now. At the moment, I'm feeling fine, other than exceptionally tired.

Well, anyways, I suppose that's all I'll type for tonight on here. Write. Blog. Whatever. Hopefully, everyone out there is doing well, and I wish everyone a Happy Fourth of July! ^-^

Cheers,

~ Kira ~
