Just a little update

 Just a little update

Hey everybody! It's me Grace, also known as thatemochick19 on instagram. I just wanted to tell everyone that last year I did some assessments for my doctor, because they wanted to see if I had anything else besides social anxiety. Last week I saw the doctor and she told me that they looked over my assessments, and they think I may have autism. When I look back on my behavior, and I also looked up the signs of it I came to the realization that I could have this. I could be formerly tested by a psychiatrist to see, but I don't know when that will be. When I looked up some of the signs, I came across the word hyperfixations and special interests. Hyperfixations are things that people are either obsessed with for a long period of time, and they can transfer to other things over time. Special interests are similar to hyperfixations, but they mean a lot to people who have ASD. To an ASD person their special interest is the most important thing in the world, and they like to learn a lot about it. They also like to talk about it a lot, it can come across as an obsession, but to people with ASD it's just their favourite thing in the world. I have hyperfixations and special interests, I always have. I just thought I was an obsessive person. When I heard that I could potentially have ASD it was a shock at first, because no one ever noticed it before. Through my whole life people just thought I was really shy, but what they didn't know is that it ran deeper than that. I'm not afraid to have this, it actually makes a lot of sense to me after analyzing all of my "issues" I wanted to share this information because a lot of people get misdiagnosed a lot, and autism can be one of these things where people aren't diagnosed for years. I also wanted to talk about this to remind everyone that this doesn't change who I am, if I do have ASD it just means my brain functions differently than other people's. 

Hope everyone had a good weekend! And to all my followers on instagram thank you for following me, and for liking my posts. I also really appreciate everyone who sees my blog, and the link for it is up on my instagram bio. thank you so much for reading my blog, and please share it with your friends and family. Until next time Rawr XD

Hospital Bells

  Hospital Bells It was a crisp December morning. Xanthous and Elrik were all snuggled up in bed together, just relaxing in the warmth before they have to get up and start the day. As dawn was breaking, Xanthous slowly opened his eyes, and looked down at his sleeping boyfriend. Elrik had his head on Xanthous's chest, sleeping away oblivious to Xanthous watching him. "he's so cute when he's sleeping." Xanthous thought as he softly stroked Elrik's hair. "How did I get to be so lucky?" He thought again, smiling down at the boy he loves. When Elrik finally awoke, he saw Xanthous staring at him and smiled warmly. "Hey beautiful, good morning." Elrik said sitting up. "Good morning babe, did you sleep well?" "yes, thank you. You're really warm." Xanthous chuckled at that, and pulled Elrik closer to him. "well yeah, I have fire powers of course I'm warm." Xanthous replied with a cheeky grin on his face. "h

Here, if you're up to it, you can write down what you wanna say." Henry gave her a notepad, and a pen. "I wanna g

"Okay, I'm just gonna stop by for a bit and help my mom with her garden." Vee said, kissing Henry on the cheek. After she left, Henry decided to go for a little walk. "It's such a beautiful day, oh look there's a bunny!" He said, seeing the cute little animal. As he was walking, he saw some guys up ahead. Henry recognized them from school, it was the bullies that always picked on him. "Oh no, not today." He said, feeling uneasy.

Because you're too much of a wimp?" He said, then his friends laughed with him. "Just ignore
