About me
Hello, my name is Taylor Carstens. I am a junior in high school. I am your average teen who loves music, talking to friends, and surfing the web, but growing up always was a challenge. When I was 2 years old, I was diagnosed with Autism, a developmental disability that affects the ability to communicate with other people. Because of it I've had difficulty in understanding signals when socializing, looking at others in the eye, and understanding the difference between actual friends, and people who pretend to be a friend but really aren't. With it I see the world differently than other people which can cause me to have fears, that seem very irrational to you but absolutely terrify me, like red led lights, broken things, and even objects that make loud noises like vacuum cleaners and sirens. I started to see it more as a strength when I joined band and started learning the clarinet. Thanks to band I found friends, and a passion. This blog will be a personal blog about my personal life. I have a youtube channel and whenever I will post a video, I will post on this blog.
