I was diagnosed when I was 4. I always had my family and my books. My interactions with my peers were nightmarish so I invented a life that was to my liking. I was “the blue bullet” or “a super sleuth” or whatever other things caught my attention. My day started at 4 or 5 in the morning and I was usually dead to the world by 8 or 9 at night. I was sickly and caught every virus or cold and spent a lot of time at home reading books. My friendships lasted really short times and then they usually became an enemy. Anything that I thought went straight from brain to mouth with no filter so I got beat up a lot. For me time in summer dragged and a day lasted for weeks but looking back everything seems to have passed in a blur.
