Introduction

My name is Anthony, and I’m 31 years old. I am currently a Graphic Design student at Dakota County and Technical College. I would say I’m an introvert in regards to most social scenarios. I am finally living on my own for the first time ever in my life since October 3, 2025. I have many ambitions in life. But my biggest ambition of all is to be a railroad tycoon. And I have every intention to do whatever it takes to make this sacred dream of mine come true.

When I was 3 years old, I was diagnosed with High Functioning Autism. I began to realize I was different than most kids when I was about 7 years old. Socially fitting in with my peers wasn’t always easy. But nevertheless, I remained determined to both develop my social skills and improve my social life. Thankfully, as time progressed, I managed to do those exact two things. I started to both understand social norms more clearly and make more genuine friendships. And I’ve also have become more comfortable being open about my Autism. In return, others in general have been more understanding of both me and my Autism. At this point in my life, I feel as though the possibilities for me in life are endless out of the sense that my future itself is far brighter than the sun.
