memories

• i was uhhh Autistic! wahoo
  • i was generally sort of Brain Fucky but that's the most detailed i can make it right now JHKHGDFJKG
• i had a very strict sense of routine. i wanted to wake up and go to bed at the same time each day, but i was fairly flexible for everything in between.
• i usually called people by their names a lot. however, bert was usually the target of most of it.
• i was from somewhere on the east coast. like, new england-ish?
• i had a whole box of stim toys somewhere in the apartment bert and i shared. i remember one thing clacked.
• rubber duckies were a stim for me for many reasons!
  • squeak on its own was a good stim!
  • it felt good to rub against my face!
  • i chewed on it sometimes, and it had a nice consistency(?)!
• drumming was also very stimmy.
  • i really liked twirling the drumsticks!
• i had one rubber ducky i’d had since childhood. it was kind of deflated, didn’t squeak much, and most of the paint on the face and beak was kinda rubbing off, but i still loved it.
  • i kept it in my pocket when i needed good luck.
