- Secret that not many people know about you?
- I’m autistic. Our generation grew up in a time when autism wasn’t understood. I was officially diagnosed with autism 8 years ago.
Because of my autism:
- Outside of work, it’s rare for me to go out in public.
- I haven’t watched the news in over 5 years. I don’t live under a rock, but I don’t seek news out and I try to avoid seeing/hearing media. It’s not that I don’t care, but my brain can’t handle getting overstimulated. My outlook: If it’s not on the weather channel/app, I don’t “need” to know it.
- The only social media I’m on is instagram because I can control my algorithm easiest…cats, dogs, comedy, music is what I prefer to scroll through 🥰
- Overall, I do my best to live my life with love and happiness. I treat everyone with respect and kindness.💙
