My name is Carol, I am an Autistic Savant and I have always struggled with extreme neurodiversity (score of 205 on the Ritvo Autism Asperger Diagnostic Scale-Revised (RAADS-R) - average ASD female is roughly 162). My main differences are extreme visual thinking / photographic memory, various forms of synesthesia, alexithymia, dyslexia, PTSD and cPTSD, various detachment and dissociative impairments (inability to connect / attach to people and animals). Physically my greatest issues are EDS and POTS as is common within the autistic community.
