So, instead of starting my much needed-to-be-done poetry response, I've been wondering about certain disorders and if they pertain to me.
Ha, I seriously wouldn't be surprised if I was autistic.
Some of the symptoms include obsessively stacking objects, social impairment (haha, me) toe-walking, lack of empathy toward others, and ability to exceed in vocabulary and spelling, but not doing so well with comprehension, inference and figurative language.
What's more...
"Making and maintaining friendships often proves to be difficult for those with autism. For them, the quality of friendships, not the number of friends, predicts how lonely they are."
"Sleep problems are known to be more common in children with developmental disabilities, and there is some evidence that children with ASD are more likely to have even more sleep problems than those with other developmental disabilities; autistic children may experience problems including difficulty in falling asleep, frequent nocturnal awakenings, and early morning awakenings."
*sigh* good to know that I'm seemingly autistic.
