My second favorite generation is now G5.

I wish I was diagnosed that early. It would have helped me understand why I was different from everyone in my life. I was diagnosed at age 19.

I got Applejack!

Yes, there really are some people out there who use the label for attention but were not officially diagnosed. The vast majority of those with autism just use it to explain themselves to people. It is unfortunate that there are a tiny minority of people posing as autistic for social media attention and the like, and it gives away to neurotypicals the impression that autism is simply a fad diagnosis that is passed out willy-nilly to people who are just nerds or a little strange. However, in reality there is a threshold for how many of the traits you need in order to be diagnosed with the condition. A couple peculiarities do not indicate autism. Having actual difficulties with social interaction and routines or highly focused interests or differences in processing sensory information are the basic characteristics of autism. However, it is rare for a person to have every single trait to extreme degrees like autism is depicted in the media. Every autistic person is affected differently, and no two people have exactly the same experiences.

Same here. The summers get really hot here in Phoenix, Arizona, so I don’t see the point of unnecessary fabric covering my thigh. Also, at this time, I sometimes wear short pants that show my knees, and if I were to wear boxers or boxer-briefs under them my underwear would be visible if I were sitting or reclining. That’s a big no-no for me. On the flipside, if I were to go to some place that gets really cold in the winter, I like to wear boxer-briefs because they keep my hip region and thigh warm.

I’m old enough to remember when G3 MLP was the latest edition to the franchise.

My favorite movie of all time is Jurassic Park.
