Wow, this is my whole childhood in an article.

So, other autistic people don't want to constantly be in charge of their environment? Don't assume people know their routine and should follow it? Or don't get angry at them because they don't understand their sensory issues?

I didn't talk to people when I was younger, not refusing to but I think it had to do with selective mutism. I've only recently developed better social skills but don't really care about socialising. It's more about wanting to be more productive. I hate chit chat and socialising is exhausting. I've got the mimicry thing. I can mimic how people write and full personalities like well, certain accents from my favourite TV shows. I'm an Australian with a mixture of British and Canadian accents.
As for fantasty - is thinking sci-fi is better than real life avoidant at all?

In school I couldn't be taught unless absolutely interested in it. I don't like how it was called an act though. It was never an act with me; more like a demonic possession. Not literally but it's like you struggle to obey someone's wishes. I used to called it stubborness with a mixture of anxiety. Later on I couldn't learn due to processing issues which medication helps with.

I wonder if PDA'a are driven people too? I'm extremely strict on myself to achieve in diet or achieving anything. I also think everyone should be like me. Just the healthy, fit and edumacating yourself part.

I'm scared now.
