Wake me up…

I’m sure there will be a ton of people saying “the last ten years really flew by”. For me, it doesn’t feel that way. Every year drags towards the end of August. Ever year, on this day, the world stands still. It’s like nothing has changed. I am still eleven years old.

Ten years ago today is the day my world came crashing down. I remember thinking, “this is the day that I am going to die”.

Spectrum

When I was first coming into my “trans-ness”, I thought “this has to be the most unique thing i can say about myself. As the years drifted passed I realized it isn’t.

I have aspergers syndrome.

For me, being trans doesn’t make me perceive the world any differently than anyone else. Mostly, I am an average twenty-one year old with a full time job and bills to pay. Though having aspergers, changes how I view everything.

A seemly simple task may not be so “simple” in my eyes. I focus on every detail so multi-tasking is intimidating. Loud or abundance of sound causes anxiety so going to stores or even attending small parties can be overwhelming and exhausting. My mind is constantly racing so it is difficult to accomplish the things I want/need to do. Physical touch is uncomfortable. I could go on and on.

Though having aspergers does have a lot of negatives (considering most of society is neuro-typical), it does make me unique.

Remember the part about focusing on details? I point out little things all the time like inconsistencies in movies/shows, patterns, and minor changes in my enviroment. I am also a vast warehouse of useless knowledge.
