I had so much fun making this video and I hope you enjoy watching it! I also forgot to mention that after trick or treating, the first thing I would do when I got home, even before eating any candy, I would sort all my candy into piles. Reese's in one pile, heresy's in anther, and so on until everything was sorted with like candy.

      I'm so happy to hear that you are embracing such a key part of who you are! I think most people see autism as something to overcome instead something that should be embraced. Hopefully with more awareness, non-autistics will stop trying to get us to conform to their social standards.

    I find it interesting how you discussed your picky eating and how you've noticed your behavior changing since you were told you have Autism. Being an introvert is also normal for many people, but please take care of yourself. I'd hate for your channel to become a diary of you becoming hysterical. All of the topics you've discussed can be normal for people even not on "the spectrum". I just hope your diagnosis doesn't define who you think you are. Hopefully you have a support system that helps you on this journey without making you feel like you don't deserve to function. It's one thing if you have to arrange how your life looks to make it easier and another to just stop doing what you love because you don't think you can fit into the tasks and groups you were once a part of.

    One thing that disappointed me about this community is the owners allowing those who live there (when they want to leave) to sell their home vs taking their TH and freeing up the space for the next person on the waitlist. I've seen it done elsewhere and it's an unfortunate business model. The people who are then selling jack up the price of the home and one is left with; do I pay that overinflated price or continue on the wait list? I think it speaks to an integrity issue overall. Maybe the owners get some kickback? Imagine being next on the waitlist and then this comes to pass. Thank you for taking the time to share a tour of this place.
