Lola Sonner is autistic

Lola Sonner:

Knows big words but uses them in very unusual ways

Or makes up her own words entirely

Has special interests that change regularly (Dressing up like an alligator, reading the same book all about bugs over and over again)

Has a whole episode addressing her executive functioning problems https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kK5vF2G96qg

Has a super vivid imagination and experiences “traveling” a lot (maladaptive daydreaming)

Only has one close friend (Lotta) because other people perceive her as being eccentric and very odd

Has been labeled a “very fussy eater” by her brother Charlie, probably due to sensory problems with food https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDsfgkn-tLE

Also very skittish about trying new things and having new experiences because she’s afraid of what could go wrong https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aw7fWy1WH6U

Takes everything very literally and doesn’t understand idioms or expressions (e.g. “Wash behind your ears or mushrooms will grow there” “Don’t make faces because if the wind changes it’ll stick like that” “Don’t watch too much tv or you’ll get square eyes”)

Becomes very distressed when her usual routine changes or something doesn’t go according to her plans https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZBh_rD2iSI
