I recently discovered I have HFA/Asperger’s. I used to think I was on the spectrum but I didn’t research it until January and it was obvious almost instantly. I’ve experienced most of the common symptoms for most of my life, though some have become more prominent with age (such as sensitivity to loud noises and certain odors).
I’m a writer and musician in NYC. I’m also an armchair psychologist and psychiatrist—I am not a doctor but I’m well read and know myself well.
I’m interested in becoming more involved in activism work and am considering ‘coming out’ about my autism and mental illnesses through my writing, though a public disclosure is a big step so it’s something I’m taking slowly with my doctors. I watch TED talks on autism and I think, I have plenty to add to this conversation.
