Lightning Has Aspergers Syndrome

Lightning as a person on the autistic spectrum.

By Leo PortalPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

I am quiet, I am humble. I don't go looking for trouble. I keep to myself, with my head in the clouds, exploring the world around me, only down-to-earth when I want to be. Conversation is challenging as I sometimes have to consider my words before speaking and be methodical about it, it's like choosing a path with least resistance to engage with those who admire me.

My peaceful nature can be misleading for I'm no saint and no pacifist. Independence is important to me, so I hide my emotions and focus on solving problems rather than complain about them. I am a person of many surprises, some astonishing, some unpleasant. If someone is deliberately trying to provoke me, I let it continue for a bit. Without making threats, I let the anger "charge up" before I decide they've pushed it and demonstrate a rather controversial way of making them stop. I lash out, cause some damage, and then it's over.

My creativity is "sparked" by many things such as reading, playing video games, solving puzzles, and exploring. Even though my hobbies may not be considered sociable, they still result in a favourable outcome, an increase in knowledge and knowledge is power, a top priority of mine.

Who am I?

I am Lightning

And if you don't like it, stay indoors!
