What is something that most people don’t realize you struggle with?
I think most people I meet don’t realise I’m autistic. I’ve masked for most of my life, and even around my close family, I still feel the need to hide my stims and my breakdowns. And, unfortunately, I don’t want that to change.
If you could spread a message to the entire world, what would that message be?
You are enough for people to love you. You’re enough to be loved, and you are loved. Your needs shouldn’t be ignored because it might inconvenience people.
Who are some people you look up to? Why do you look up to them?
My friends! I’m not sorry for bringing them up so much, they have honestly been my lifeline through all this, and they don’t know half of it. All of them are amazing and talented artists and writers, and even if they have their own personal struggles, they’re always willing to help others. I can’t say how much I love them enough.

We’re friends now. Do you want to watch a movie?
What is the hardest situation you have encountered?
The school situation I mentioned earlier is one of the hardest things I’ve gone through. But not only that, healing from childhood wounds is still a daily struggle, and while I don’t currently have much hopes overcoming that, I’m trying to keep my chin up.
