Growing Up Undiagnosed Autistic Is Like 'huh. I Wonder Why I Feel Almost Like An Alien Compared To Everyone

Thanks for tagging me!

I expected to get the golden retriever, but the sheep is super cute!

Fun little quiz

For me, it's the words "brat" and "bratty". I don't care if you're a Military Brat, even hearing the word in a benign context (i.e., not an old crank justifying the hatred of children) makes me feel like all the blood is rushing to my head, and my eyes instantly fill with tears. I do try to control myself in such situations. I know Ye Olde Military Brats wear your label with pride. You can have your Brat Tamer kink, but never talk to me about it. Even if I'd ordinarily agree that a kid is rude or badly behaved, I'd choose any other word that'd work. And the whole Brat Summer thing is almost funny, but it's had me cringing hard. For some reason mentioning Bratz dolls is fine. (I was never into them, but I understand the context is just about toys.) Even seeing "brat" and "bratty" in print feels either like I suddenly can't read, or like a slight jumpscare. I also dislike "twerp", "twaddle", and "whore".

I have misophonia and logomisia...

Not sure it even looks like me, but it was fun?

Who am I gonna tag? I'll try to think of someone.

Neurotypicals be like: “don’t put yourself into a box!!”

Then demand that you fit into theirs.

My big sis was really into it! So as long as I can remember there were always AG books in the house. I became extremely obsessed when I was 6, and then my mom got me Felicity for Christmas that year. My sister was mostly over it by the time she was 15. But for me, at age almost 20, the obsession has never died and I'm looking for the next doll on my list: Maryellen.

American Girl fans of Tumblr, what was your very first exposure to the brand?

Mine was finding a Meet Kaya book in my primary school's library.
