I won't deny that many have lives harder than I do, but I still have troubles of my own. For those who don't know, I have a genetic condition that affects someone's motor skills, coordination, speech, and sense of social etiquette. In many cases, I'm an outcast, because I just don't know how to approach someone without feeling dumb.
But that's starting to change. After becoming involved in the school choir, I've realized how much I love music. It opened up a door I never was aware of.
Maybe looking through will help me find my path in life...

This is dedicated to anyone struggling with autism, aspergers (correct me if I misspelled it), or the like, however minor, whether it's affecting them or someone in their family. I'm there for you.
Out of curiosity: who else has cried because of a homework overload?
Autism, lol.
That said first chapter was a decent read. Might comeback and read the rest.
It's not bad.... but this could all really just be one big chapter.
6217695 I haven't ever cried because of homework overload, but I have felt pretty frustrated and angry with myself.

I know. The chapters are really short. I'm working on lengthening future chapters.

I'm not asking this to be mean or anything, but why did you say lol to autism? I have it in real life. A minor form of it, but still. A lot of what my OC is going through reflects on what I have gone through in the past. Again, I'm not sure what you're implying when you say lol. I just wanted to ask you.
As the uncle of a beautiful little 9-year-old girl with nonverbal/preverbal ASD, this hit home a little hard for me. I've enjoyed what I've read so far and urge you to keep on going! So often, I and my sister and her family wish we knew what went on in Michaela's head. I feel like you've granted me a little insight through this story.
Please keep writing, and I'll keep reading!

Aww, really? I'm glad that I posted this story, then. More chapters are on their way. I wish the best for you and your family.
Thank you for liking and adding "The Plague Doctor" to your favorites. When more stories become available, feel free to go through them at your interest rate, and have a great day.
Quite charming. We hope you continue writing this. Short chapters, yet always to the point and not leaving much out. Well done.
I don't have asthma. The doctor said that I most likely have a mild anxiety attack when I get like this.
Interesting. Short chapter, yet rather informative at the same time.
This caught my interest, I'm autistic too.
Though I'm 23, a might bit older than you or the filly in the story, I can remember what it was like when I was very young. The only difference is I never had issues zoning out so much, I've always been incredibly aware of everything happening around me to the extent that people are sometimes in disbelief of how much I pick up on; I am prone to hyperfocus sometimes, but only when I'm home just chilling out, like playing video games (or reading stories 
). Otherwise, very hypervigilant (in the literal, psychological sense of it, have a good bit of anxiety thrown into the mix), definitely the jumpy type. I hear things that others generally can't, like Streax. I have a lot of SPD symptoms that I deal with. I have developmental coordination disorder, also called dyspraxia; I could only wish I'd had wings to use instead of walking when I was younger, haha.
I'm just glad Streax doesn't get bullied like I did. Talk about having no friends.
It's all okay now, I have tons of friends, but it definitely sucked being bullied from 1st-8th grade, and being friendless until 7th.
Oh, as a side note, I did choir from 7th grade to my senior year of high school. :D I still have trouble letting people hear me sing from day to day, but I can perform on stage willingly now without.... completely... losing my shit.

Yeah. I also have ADHD, so that contributes to my lack of focus. I was fortunate enough to not have to deal with bullies, but I only recently started getting into the social mix, unlike Streax. She's currently 12, but the story is going to progress to my current age, 15, and build on my own life. But I take medicine for my focus, and that can cause me to get anxiety. I tend to get hyperfocus either with puzzles or music. It's cool that I can relate to someone like this. I understand the hardships of autism, and I'm sorry about the bullying. At least you pushed through. That's what matters, right?
6269790 Yeah. ^-^ You're lucky to have a diagnosis at your age, at the very least. I was always good at mimicry and didn't get the diagnosis until I was 20 (at which point "well, NOW everything makes sense"). I know lots of people who have ADHD, so I've seen what that's like for people. I thought that you were giving Streax ADHD symptoms, but I assumed it might just be a different presentation of SPD, since ADHD wasn't mentioned in the story.
I'm glad you enjoy being able to relate to someone. Feel free to talk to me through PM if you ever need someone to talk to.

I consider myself lucky to be diagnosed as well. I was diagnosed at age 9, and even before then, my mom knew that something was up. I spent years going to speech and occupational therapy. And I must admit that I've done quite a few things that I now regret. One of which was when I wouldn't give a girl her pajamas because I liked their texture. That took place before I was diagnosed, but still...
Please update this soon.
Also It would be awesome if you put in a pony version of Temple Grandin.

I've unfortunately hit writer's block on this. I have the next chapter about half-written and although I can't make any promises, I'll try to update it soon.
Been there done that, someone thinks your not listening, and then turn around and repeat word for word what they just said. Then stop listening to them because they'll be too embarrassed to ask such a thing again

It took me a while for facial expressions to come second-nature to me. Even now, I can go flat-faced. So if you see me with a glassy look, it usually means that I'm focused on something. If I look glassy and upset, that usually means that I'm zoning out.
You have my attention!
6220323
I am being tested for autism and well this sounds kinda like me.
6523821
Please make more soon
7360768 Yeah. I feel bad for technically putting this on hiatus(I do almost everything from my phone so it's a pain to update the status) but my brain has hit an extreme roadblock. I can't think of anything new to write for any of my stories, but please know that I have not abandoned this story.

As an autistic individual myself, I have also grown to be quite attached to music. I've been taking Choir classes since middle school, still do today.
I'll keep reading this, I see a lot of myself in this story.
