Hey everyone.

I'm Rusanya98. Or, now a lot of my accounts go by NoPuzzl.

I'm a university student, so I tend to be very busy. My university actually has an undergraduate Social Justice major, and as an Autistic who aligns with the Neurodiversity movement this is perfect, but there's a lot of papers.

This may bet toe-lining as far as content goes, so a mod/admin should tell me whether or not to edit this out,but for now I'm assuming it's fine:

Autistic people don't like Autism Speaks. I will not get into details, I have a diary for a reason, but I will say it's.....it's bad.

Now that that is done and over with, I will get to the fun stuff~!

Favorite animal: Cat, I guess.

Hated Animal: Dogs. I just don't like them, and executive dysfunction does not help me with raising them.

Favorite Color: IDK. Either purple, red, or gold.

Hated Color: NO BLUE IN APRIL. With that I just realized this website is a monstrosity for me lol. XD

Favorite Pokemon: Cyndaquil! It used to be Skitty but the Cyndalovely took over.

Hated Pokemon: None. No, not even Magikarp. Did you know Magikarp and Gyarados are based on a Chinese myth/tale/legend? The basic outline is that there is a legendary waterfall, and all of the carp have to swim to the top of it (the top of the fountain being called the Dragon's Gate if I remember correctly). If they succeed, they turn into dragons. :]

Favorite food: Chocolate. Coffee. Anything sweet.

Hated food: No spicy things, please. :[

Favorite shows: I....don't really know. Pokemon is a default special interest/specc. I think I kind of flow into Death Note once in awhile.

Oh, and, apparently, except for my colorful mouth and a higher energy level, a lot of my friends think I'm more like Lawliet. If anyone was wondering.

Hated shows: Family Guy. The Big Bang Theory. If it's outright ableist I will likely hate it, which throws quite a few things out of the window. Sorry, no Divergent series from me all.

Favorite Books: "Neurotribes". It's by Steve Silberman, it's a book on Neurodiversity from a Neurotypical perspective, and everyone should read it.

I also like "Loud Hands: Autistic People, Speaking" as it's an anthology to the ongoing Neurodiversity movement; the ND movement has only been around since the 1990s and yet it already has a founding text, it's amazing and all of the pieces in it are made by Autistic people if anyone wants to take a look.

I like L. C. Mawson's "Snowverse" and "Aspects" series if we want accurate and humanizing in-page representation of Neurodivergent people.

Hated Books: See hated shows, if you haven't been able to guess what kinds of thing I dislike in media yet.

Other Interests: Neurodiversity, drawing, and writing. The three of those merge together pretty often but they are separate things.

I don't think I need to infodump anymore on Neurodiversity, but if you have questions ~PLEASE~ contact me, it's so hard to find people to talk to.

My drawings are normally just random doodles I made in class.

My writing is mostly poetry and poetic prose, so I have no idea if any of you would like them.:/

University Life Stuff: I'm gettings A's (and I think, one C in a class where I am not allowed to doodle, work on other homework, do Neurodiversity research, which tells me a lot tbh). You would think taking notes helps, but the professors move so fast that I have a not-taker for my accommodations (and all professors are required to put up their slides/recordings of lecture if I remember right at all) so, no, I can't do that.

Honestly, I keep forgetting to pick up my notes though! Which makes me actually wonder how I'm getting these good grades? I think it's because I'm actually interested (for once ahem) and so I actually do the work.

Speaking of work, usually I have around ten to fifteen readings and a reaction paper on a GOOD week, not to mention extraneous and voluntary research on Neurodiversity so I can do a presentation series, and a job, and on top of that I do have a life outside of this game. I won't be here too often but I will try to make time. :)


OKAY. I AM NOW DONE. Sorry if that was long, I was a bit afraid of too ~little~ detail. XD
