Autism and Aspergers used to be separate, but they are combined now. Mondo didn't do this. This is not her fault. It is now called ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). Mondo is on the spectrum. Here is her experience.
===What be it?===
Posessing a series of traits that are generally considered odd by neurotypicals (NTs). They are not WRONG or BAD, but just... different than most people are used to.
===Symptoms===
Please note, that strange, unusual, weird, odd, etc terms are used in relation to "different than neurotypicals". If you want to know EXACTLY how they are different compared to NTs, please research the individual trait.
*May be a strange baby (Cry constantly unless being rocked in a moving vehicle)
*May hyperfocus on certain things that are unusual (Be obssesed with collecting bottle caps)
*May obsess over things unusually (May be really into programming at 10 years old and stay up til 4am doing it)
*May play weirdly (Sorts legos by color instead of building)
*May have issues with food texture, or restrictive food intake. (Only eating chicken nuggets, or not able to eat anything with a certain texture, like squishy-crunch)
*May have trouble socializing or being able to recognize social cues. (Unable or difficult to make friends, or not knowing what things are appropriate to say, or what level you have to be in a friendship to say certain things. May have trouble getting or keeping a job.)
*May be upset by unreasonable or reasonable changes or changes in routine. (If at work, they suddenly make you go in a different entrance that is further away from the parking lot for no reason, it could be very upsetting.)
*Fear may be either extreme or nonexistant. (May be too scared of going into a new building they have never been in before, or not afraid at all to give strangers online all their info.)
*Hypersensitivity to external stimulus. (May not be able to wear clothes or touch things of a certain texture or tightness. May be sensitive to light, sounds, smells, etc.)
*May obsess over small details or be a perfectionist. (This is actually really helpful in real life sometimes, when an intense attention to detail is needed, such as art!)
