I was born in May and prefer to be a quiet good listening sort of person. My biggest early life struggle happened because I was anti-social with people I didn't already get along with. It wasn't until I was 19 that I was told I had Asperger's Syndrome. Before that, I was taken out of public school to continue from the fifth grade onwards as a home schooled student. I owe a lot to my parents who were patient with struggles that I myself was unaware of. I had difficulties with reading and advanced math. None the less, I was seriously interested in art as well as fiction. As my reading and writing improved it became clear there was nothing I wanted more than to be an amazing storyteller. I also strongly believe in humanism. I want to create stories that make people feel special and meaningful, in a world that can sometimes feel depressing and hopeless. I make it through my own struggles with the help of God, because I'm a Christian, and also with the help of lots of people who come into my life. I owe a lot to everyone who is patient enough to deal with me at times. Thank you.
