At a young age, I was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome which is part of the autism spectrum. Because of it, I have a short attention span, which usually prevents me from reading or writing long stories. Haikus are a plus for me because they are short, but it helps me figure out how to get my point across quickly (I tend to overexplain things). Over the years, I have grown to become an open-minded individual, seeing the world in multiple shades of gray.
