Life of a Young Autistic Man

Going through kind of a boring life; Summer Summary

My name is Neil, and one of the many things I like to do is singing and listening to some music. To best describe me, I am autistic and I'm not much of a talker. I usually do better in writing my ideas down than in speaking them out. At this point in my life, it's pretty boring because some of my snack food choices get deprived plus I only get to see some of my friends on a quite sporadic basis. Hopefully, as school comes back, that will all change. Now that I'm starting school again, I'm pretty worried, and some of it is geared on the fact that I'm going to have to wake up early (this is like zero-hour chemistry all over again) plus I have to deal with a lot of passengers on the bus in the morning, along with the possible pressures I probably will have when I'm taking geology---jeez!! Here is a picture of me and some of my family members. In the front, from left to right are my sisters Alicia, Stacey, Emma, my mom, and my other sister, Rachel. In the back, from left to right are Alicia's husband (whom is named Brian), me, and my dad.

































In this picture above is my older brother (named Steven), my sister-in-law (named Meredith), and my newest niece, Gabriella.


In this picture is me and my dog, Belle. She is a golden retriever and we've had her for about 1 year now. She is quite fully grown.
















Life is tough for an autistic boy like me. For instance, just about a year ago, I had a seizure last year in the bathroom. I don't remember much, except that I ended up in an ambulance and I had some really bad back pain. Plus, in college, I have to take some special accommodations just to keep myself on the level. I want to make friends yet find it kind of hard to because I'm very shy as well.
