Hi I just recently got diagnosed with just classic autism even though Its obvious that I’m high functioning recently at 20 years old after struggling in college wit her the transition from high school to college and noticing how different, and more emotionally sensitive immature and childlike and dependent on my parents I was then everyone else my age . I had always felt different though.
My interests are Taylor Swift and animals . I also like shopping listening to music and reading and watching YouTube .
Also I’ve had something weird happen to me that is kind of hard to explains but I will try to do my best . I think it has to do with Autism but I don’t know why it has happened to me and haven’t herd of anything like it when I googled about it .
Up until I went to college I feel like my brain was stuck in child mode and I only thought in the past and present . I , for the most part , blindly did what my parents told me to do and was blind to the real adult world . Words like work and bills were only words to me . I never understood what work was why my dad went there or what he did there only that he went there in the morning and came home from it in the evening . The person at Starbucks was just the person at Starbucks .Going into college I didn’t even know what a major was .
I was clueless to whole move out of the house go to college pick a major get a job for that major the job pays for life’s necessities everything cost money there are lots of bills to pay and rent and taxes and car payments and stuff. I never even thought about what happens when you graduate . All I knew about whenever someone graduates is that they’d didn’t come back to high school anymore. This made me feel really stupid and stressed out it still does because I’m like how can I have been alive all these years , have a perfectly good brain have been living on this earth and everyone know about these things and not me .
It wasn’t until my mom suggested I get an apartment close to home and I started YouTubing people movingly into their apartments. After that everything started to click realizing that there is nothing in there and people need a good job to pay for their expenses and what the expenses were. I then realized what a job was actually for.
I was wondering if anybody else has had a similar experience or ha s any idea why this happened to me . I was also addicted the computer from 8 to around 12 so that might have something to do with it.
