Finally, I finished my Project UNS contribution.

Hi, Dan and Swampy! Let me introduce myself. My name’s Dott, and I’m 18 years old. I’ve been a fan of Phineas and Ferb ever since I was around 12 or 13 (I can’t remember exactly since I’m super bad at keeping track of time).

I regret to say that I ignored your show when it first came out. I was in a stage where I was always like “cartoons are for babies!” and I disregarded it altogether. My sister followed suit at first, since she loves emulating me, but at one point she began watching it. She adored it. I tried to resist the urge to give it a shot. But I failed to do so, and let me tell you, I am so, so glad that I failed.

I quickly got completely absorbed in the show. You see, I’m autistic, and we individuals on the spectrum have these things called special interests, where we completely obsess over one thing. Phineas and Ferb was my thing. It’s kind of scary how much I know about it; I can recite Perry’s DNA code from memory! 74218390. It’s weird, I know, but I’m proud of it anyway.

I absolutely adore your show. My favorite characters are Candace and Jeremy, since I really like their relationship. My favorite episode is Summer Belongs to You. I can’t even begin to describe how happy I was when that episode premiered. I had the tinglies for hours afterward, I loved it so much. I still listen to the songs on the soundtrack!

This show has brought me so much joy since I got into it all those years ago. It helped me meet close friends through fandom and community, it cheered me up when I was sad and got me through hardship, it gave me inspiration to write stories again after abandoning it altogether, it opened my mind to trying new things. Those characters pretty much kept my spirit up all through high school.

For all you guys and your creation have done for me, I am so, so thankful. I’m so grateful that I gave your show a chance, and I’m grateful that it was there to lift me up all that time. And I know for a fact that it’s helped countless others, too.

Thank you both so much for sharing your creation with the world. There aren’t words to describe how much Phineas and Ferb means to me; I truly believe that it’s made me a happier person in general, and given me a more positive outlook on life.

And now that it is coming to a close, I’m saddened. I will miss it dearly, since it was the reason for so, so many happy memories in my life. But I think that all good things must come to an end. At the time that I’m writing this, May 8th 2015, I’ll be graduating high school in about a week, and I’m starting college this fall. I’m glad that I’ll be able to carry those memories and the lessons I’ve learned with me into that new environment. I honestly am not sure what kind of person I would be if Phineas and Ferb had never existed.

I know I’ve said it like 12 times now, but thank you. It’s been an amazing, fun, joyous ride, and I wish you both the absolute best of luck in whatever it is you’re thinking of pursuing next!
