Hello everyone. Today we have a guest article by Anmol Singh who believes he may be on the autism spectrum even though he has never received a diagnosis. Read his article below.

Autism is a mental disorder that affects the emotional Social, cognitive, and communication of an individual. Autism has been really phenomenal and fascinating by observing it from a certain dimension.

Things at an intellectual level started getting more indulging and abstract art felt like flying into an imaginary world of possibilities. Not just genetically, but in many cases, it is a result of the external environment and how a particular situation is getting predicted, which exactly happened nine years back when I got promoted to 9th standard. 

The new dawn of the day brought new challenges and it was astonishing how some of the new bullies were in my class and were making the classroom environment stuffy, filthy, and notorious. A couple of days went by and that’s when I realized, it would be best to ignore the bullies. It was then when the transformation began and becoming an introvert was hitting my nerves. 

Being alone for years that’s when a conclusion came into being. Seclusion has actually surrounded me like a blanket. Being graceful along the way gave a ray roke for lining a peaceful and frolic life. 

In a certain sense, 2019 was quite a remarkable year for me and it gave me an intellectual entitlement through which gave me perspective towards things and perceptions became more meaningful. The things which hit my interests hard were the socialising reduced, loneliness, and being. Loud sounds gave me an odd headache resulting in a high level of stress. One of the experiences where the noise had a huge impact was in my college days where one of my fellow roommates played land music on Shea pers, my head was wobbling and panting really hard like a bullet going through my head. Experiencing this meant there were occasions when  I felt a lot of anxiety and high levels of stress.

It was in the early 20s when I realized the symptoms of autism came into being and certainly there came a day when one of my finest friends told me that my logical and Cognitive thinking is impaired and I had to work harder than what is usually required. 

One of the recent unusual and unpleasant experiences was when it was a bright morning and my mom came to hug me and I just refused. I felt discomfort like the thought of hugging caused me pain like I was suffocating. I just turned around and walked away. 

Autism can be abrupt, life-changing, very commonly abnormal behavior as far as intellectual scenarios are concerned. Therefore, it is important to take care, spread awareness and deliver the best in whatever situation.
