What were you like as a child?

Have you changed much? Not just in appearence but your personality at well, food preferences?

I haven't changed much. Lol. I'm still little, still childish, still spooked by adults and strangers. I still like toys. I look youthful, like I'm in my early teens still. Food wise I'm still like a kid I like all the sweet stuff.

I'm in my twenties now but honestly I am still like I was when I was a kid just I don't go to school now.

  • Hi! I have autism and just joined here today.

    As a child I was quiet and shy. I was only ever close to my mum, I rarely spoke to anybody else, always ate the same foods, avoided the other kids at school, played with my toys and dressed in an old fashioned style, usually items of clothing from the 1930s - 50s. I've always been fascinated with vintage fashion, and vintage items, I think it may be my special interest but I'm not completely sure of this.

    I was a curious child. I loved the world and the idea of adventure and exploration. My mum used to buy me maps and atlases and I would dream of where I would go to explore. I used to play pretend as an explorer when I was a kid and I would wear vintage clothes that an explorer might wear.

    I would go in to the garden whenever I could on sunny days (and rainy days) and look for wildlife, then I would write about them in my journal, and try to collect them in cases but my mum would make sure I released them again after. For my 9th birthday my dad bought me a tent, only a one man tent and I set it up that day and was sleeping in it that night. It became my HQ where I spent a lot of my time, and where I stored my sweets!

    I'm pretty much the exact same now just I'm in my 20s and I've got a beard. Wink
