15. that I have so much to be thankful for

2. favourite stims

Hmmm, it's hard to put a finger on this one, but at my old school the club room had these really awesome chairs that you could rock and spin in, so sitting in those was always fun.

Other than that, hand flapping is always good for relieving stress and I tend to wiggle my fingers a lot, either semi randomly or going over violin fingerings from this one song. (I don't play violin anymore, but that's stuck with me since middle school.)

9. do you prefer loud or quiet things?

Quiet. Definitely quiet. Loud can be okay sometimes but sound tends to be the sense that I get overstimulated by the easiest.

13. talk about your routines, if you have them

I don't really have any routines as far as when I do what, but I always sit in the same seat in classes. (I know most NT people do this too, but if I move I'm confused/ anxious for the whole class period, so staying in the same seat is more important to me than it is for allistic people.)

Back when I was living at home, I'd always say good night to my family in the exact same way.

15. talk about your favourite things about yourself!

Oh jeez.

Um.

I guess I'm good at math? And I like doing math so I enjoy being good at it.

I kind've like how I've started feeling more athletic recently too, since that's something that came out of a lot of work.
