let me do it. I am the arbiter of autism. everyone has to ask me

That's the same thing my psychologist told me! I've asked her like 3-5 times if she's sure I'm autistic, and she has confirmed every time. I don't know though. What if I'm not autistic? Here are my relevant characteristics:

I use a weighted blanket
Sometimes my skin burns, and I have to shake about to feel better
I'm nearly always playing a drum beat in my head
A psychologist that specializes in autism assessments and treatment has confirmed it 3-5 times
My psychologist friends that have known me for 7 years are certain I'm autistic
I'm 100% autistic

What do you think?

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
