| When I was younger, I asked him if he's had any autistic students, and he said yes. So he must have some idea of what autism is. That was before I was diagnosed, and I was having an obsession with the topic of autism. Another thing is that he used to have a dyslexic student that he always called &qu... |

Okay. That makes sense. |

| I read an article from a long time ago that theoretically speaking, 45% with DSM IV autism would not meet the DSM 5 criteria, 75% with DSM IV Asperger's would not meet it, and 80% with DSM IV PDD-NOS would not meet it. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/allen-frances/dsm-5-will-lower-autism-r_b_1240016.h... |

When I was little, I saw a cartoon where someone's face got sucked into a vacuum cleaner. Now I try to avoid those things.
Also, my parents constantly yelling at me to fix things that are beyond my control. |

| Every week, I go to this person to take piano lessons. Every week, he asks me why I always look around the room when he's talking, why I take so long to answer his questions, why I can't stop moving in my seat, why I must always take his jokes so seriously, etc. He's known me since I was little.

| Once one of my classmates dressed up as Sarcasm for Halloween. She just wore a shirt that said "scary". To this day, my best guess is that since she was a little kid, nobody would think she's scary. Or maybe it's because Halloween doesn't scare her. But it took me a year of thinking about ... |
