0April 5: Talk about your living situation. Do you live with your parents? Do you live on your own? Have roommates? Etc. If you live on your own how hard was it to get used to?
Currently, I am back at home with my parents due to my campus being shutdown because of COVID-19. However, normally, I live in a dorm on campus with a fantastic roommate. My first year of college was the absolute worst because I was diagnosed at the start of the first semester, and I struggled with the awkwardness of having a roommate. I think I had a panic attack the first day living on campus, too. Long story short, I was terrified to start this new chapter of my life. If you don’t know, I get attached to people and have great difficulty with managing myself on my own. My parents were the people who I had relied on with helping me with life skills my entire life. After my high school graduation, all of a sudden, I was supposed to be able to handle myself all on my own.
Luckily, my roommate and I got along just fine. We’re now pretty good friends, but she is graduating at the end of next year. I am going for a higher degree than her so, I will have to be attending classes for a year or two after she graduates. Once she’s gone, my plan is to apply to have my own, private dorm, which I don’t think will be too hard to get given the fact that I have a diagnosis. Anyways, about my roommate. Her name is Missy (I love her name, btw), and she has a younger brother who is on the spectrum. Apparently, he has level 3 ASD so, she has experience with handling a more severe presentation of autism. She doesn’t judge me for my “odd” behaviors and is very patient with me. Also, she is extremely understanding when it comes to meltdowns (though I hardly experience these), sensory overload, and shutdowns. Honestly, she is a Godsend, and one of the best friends I have ever had. I love her with all my heart and soul.
Now, not all autistic people are able to attend college or become independent. I am still not completely independent as I rely on my roommate to help me out substantially. I don’t know what I’m going to do after I earn my degree, but I’ll figure it out when the time comes; though I’m pretty sure I will have someone to help me regardless of happens. I just can’t function alone; I need at least one person to support me. My ADHD also makes it harder for me to function alone.
As a closing statement, I would like to remind people that autism presents itself differently in everybody so, no two autistics will ever be the same. They may share similar experiences and symptoms, but how autism presents itself in them will never be exactly the same. That’s just the nature of the disorder. Different people will have different areas of need, which will determine the amount of external support they require. Regardless, we are all people and deserve to be loved. Don’t mock those who need someone to care for them in order to live a fulfilling life. We are just trying to get by in a world that is not built for us. (Note: Whether or not someone is disabled is determined by their environment and society. If the world is not geared towards them (i.e. how this world is too overwhelming sensory wise for autistics) then, they will be labeled as disabled. However, back when life was a strict routine of living on a farm and being mostly around family, many of us on the spectrum probably wouldn’t be seen as disabled. Some of us might even thrive. I recently saw a post discussing this.)
