Valliance: Well…… growing up, I didn't have very many friends. It's not that nobody liked me, I just have a hard time talking to others outside of my family. At an early age, I was diagnosed with autism. It's hard to explain thoroughly, but basically it means I process the world differently from others. When I used to attend school, I've been allowed many accommodations to allow for a…… smoother experience. I'm not entirely incapable of doing stuff independently, though. Though I'd be lying if I said I wasn't interested in having friends.
