My Autobiography: The tales of an Autistic, but well-intentional lad from London.

CrimsonShark Not exactly on the 100 subscribers mark, but 76 subscribers (which is at least 3/4 of a hundred) seems pretty sizable. Well, lets get into what I have been through since October 5th 1997.

About the date above, yeah, that's the date of my birth. I was born in Chelsea Westminster Hospital (Ironically, Christopher Lee died in the same hospital about 18 years from then) in London. I lived in a hotel, my dad was the manager of the place, which makes sense on why I lived there till the age of 3. My relationships with my brothers are usually positive, but are complicated, especially my younger brother who was sent to Pakistan only a few days after birth. I moved north in Brent and started primary school there. From there on out, some of my biggest interests, such as video games began to flourish and in no time, I got addicted. I remember fondly playing games such as Mario, Zelda, Super Smash Bros, Pokemon, Ratchet and Clank, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3, Kingdom Hearts II and various others and I felt as if I had a good social contact with school, that is until I abruptly left in 2006 when my dad wanted to buy a hotel in Dubai.

From what I've said above, I lived in Dubai up until September 2006. During my time there, my dad's finance became permanently shattered when the hotel rejected him, despite him offering a lot of money. He tried to buy a smaller hotel, but he failed at that as well. As a result, my parents had to give most of my London home to rent and we resorted to living in what I planned as a Club-House at the back of the garden.

However, my dad decided to shift my education to Pakistan, so I moved out to Lahore, reunited with my younger brother and started school there. By then, I was somewhat familiar with the surroundings as I usually went there for holidays, but by then, I was now living there for my education. There, I got more serious about education as it was tougher there than it was in London, although my gaming interests remained. My social interactions there were different there; I had more time to spend with extended family relatives which I am glad for, but I always felt like an outcast in school and the teachers didn't give a damn about it (All they cared about was kids getting top marks and going to top-rate universities).

My duration in Lahore was from 2006 to 2012. Unfortunately, I failed the last year (Due to Mathematics and I still have a grudge). I moved back to London with my brothers and parents and immediately began settling in for some time before deciding to go to another school. So I started high school from 2012 to 2016 and ironically failing the last year. It got to the point where I don't feel comfortable talking about academics at times. I'm currently in college from 2016 to 2018 (Hopefully) doing a Media course which could hopefully take me to University and a good job. So far, things are going out well, although I'm still doing a Maths retake.

Now, about my social experiences. This was one of the most difficult things I tend to comprehend with. As a toddler, my parents have assumed me to be Autistic as my interactions with other people were rather odd and I would prefer being on my own. However, my time in Pakistan was worse as many of the students were just indoctrinated to learn thanks to teachers and some of them would bully me. I've had dark times a lot, but I found my way of coping with things, especially my love of video games and dinosaurs (And yes, a lot of people actually exhibit surprise and interest when I talk about dinosaurs).

When I returned to London however, I became more apparent about Autism and in 2014, I was finally diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome. Although a late diagnosis, at least I'm happy that I officially have an identity of my own. In addition, my Autism has worked to my advantage at times and I can honestly say I'm proud to be Autistic.

To this day, I've never had a best friend (I'd have to wait maybe) nor do I get involved with any friend group at all, but I surprisingly wind up becoming popular and a lot of students and teachers wind up liking me anyway. Sometimes, I'd even willingly spend time alone. Considering how long I've spent without having any close friends or any relatives at all, I found a way to make myself content and be happy on my own.

And about my interests. Well, aside from the usual video games, I've developed a few here and there. I'm usually the nerd of the family; I know more about films, games, shows, music, anime and news feeds more than most people I come in contact with. My taste in music started quite late in 2013, starting with Rock music, but I've progressively started listening to Metal, Pop and Classical overtime and I am intent on trying other genres in the future. I'm not a know-it-all thankfully and I am aware that there are lots of things in most media forms that I can still learn from.

And now, here's my favorite part: What I am now. Firstly, I was a FanFiction writer and a successful one at that. Heck, FanFiction was what motivated me into writing stories. If you're curious, search for "DarkKnights" on FanFiction and you'll find me. And by the way, my FanFictions are normal. I'm now a better writer than before so that's a plus. Also to let you know that I'm currently working on a novel that I'll hopefully publish one day for all of you guys to read :).

In addition, I'm also an social advocate and a protester (A recent one though). Usually I would speak about War and Terrorism, but Childhood Cancer is a big factor for me and I am currently making a few posts about awareness and what can be done to save lives, inform more people etc. And yes, I am socially and psychologically motivated. Politics get me interested as well, although I detest today's politicians and governments.

Oh yeah, funny thing but Instagram has kind of helped me a lot. In fact, its the reason why I'm a part-time protester to begin with. And I look at posts that detail wordly issues, philosophies, people who need help etc. It may sound stupid, but I thank Instagram for allowing me to do some research via pictures and some words and getting to understand our world better.

Overall, that's an autobiography about myself. I can't cram in everything that ever happened to me for obvious reasons, but I tried my best in including the more interesting and relevant points of my life. Feel free to ask more questions on the comments and I'll be more than happy to express some words.

Thanks for reading :).

Aw... really sweet bio. And you should really be a social rights speaker or something, believe me one day you'll be it. And you do have a best friend: ME! - TwilightKitsune (2/26/2017)

Very inspiring and motivational post. I admire how you're able to cope through even the hardest of hardships and what you aspire to do in life. That said, it was quite a pleasure reading this interesting autobiography. I hope for great things for you in the future. - visitor (3/1/2017)

Sounds like that was a rough while, but you still managed to be an inspirational person despite it. I admire you for that. You are one of few great people I've gotten to know :). - visitor (5/8/2017)
