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:

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

Don't let that blanket decide who you are.

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?
