Food Review: Bai Nariño Peach Supertea

*DISCLAIMER: this is just my opinion. no paid writing here.
Every time I go to the store it seems that there's a new variety of Bai juices and teas. This one is very peachy, with the aftertaste people do not desire. I get these super cheap, and how ofter they're releasing new flavors which is super exciting in my opinion. What more can i say about this brand that I haven't said before? Will definitely get this variety again and will continue to do so in the future. Thank you Bai brand for existing for people who want a healthy alternative for beverages.

EP/LP has to be at least 5 tracks long too. Another thing has to be ranked at least 8 and above out of 10.

Food Review: Odwalla Strawberry Protein Shake

*DISCLAIMER: this is just my opinion. no paid writing here.
More from Odwalla. I went ahead and wanted to try the strawberry equivalent to the chocolate protein shake. At the first sip, I tasted strawberry milk with protein additives included. Like what a protein shake should taste like. I like it, for the most part. Definitely not as good as the chocolate shake, but will definitely get this item again. The texture is definitely different from the chocolate shake, and will have to have the texture due to the protein additives (whey protein, assumed). Good for a lunch alternative, or a breakfast alternative; for if you crave sweet, yet at least half of your protein intake for the day (based off of a 2,000 calorie diet of course)

Autism is Not a Bad Word.

Hello there. As a fellow person with Autism, it's hard to talk about it without people going down to a level of a baby. I hate that baby talk sometimes. My family had a sense of something wasn't right when I was younger. My grandparents decided to have me checked out. But it wasn't until I was 16 or in the eleventh grade that I was officially diagnosed with what it's known as Autism Spectrum Disorder. Prior to 2013 it was either low functioning or mild to high functioning Autism/Aspergers Syndrome. Which they did away with that for a few years now. Since Autism is a spectrum disorder, some people can possess the ability to cook and clean, but wasn't too academically bright; so to speak. With my case I had a good knack for Math, and other academics within reason. I wasn't a genius by any means, but I was able to be in GenEd classes because of my book smarts. Now socially I was awkward as hell. Like when I started trying to date people, it came across as very weird and very negative attachment problems. (Boundary issues, which I am trying to overcome through counseling)
Also another aspect is a dual diagnosis. Whether bipolar, OCD, impulse control disorders (which combines mood and OCD together) or whatever you have. It is bound to happen with people with Autism. My OCD: I can't have my room white room clean (think Adrian Monk of Monk) or extreme hoarder mess because I will flip out. There has to be a happy medium; yet there has to be some cleaning once in a while. When I eat a three course meal (meat, veggies, carbs) depending on the meat and vegetable I eat veggies first then meat then the carbs last (always carbs last) or vice versa. When I have Captain Crunch, I eat the crunch berries first (sometimes going by color order) then the yellow crunch cereal.
Everything has to have data organization too. My step intake, tumblr posts, and to the like. I count everything up for a specific time period (week, month, et cetera) and then average it out. It's a constant need to do data organization. This would make me good in data entry for a job; but alas jobs want 2-10 years of experience and a Bachelor's in Accounting. Which I only have my Associate's. I want to have a job that I would like, I want to drive (which I am currently working on getting used to being behind the wheel before setting off for my learner's permit). But with the job aspect, it's going to be hard because the last time I applied for a few jobs, it was like no one wanted to hire me, because I mentioned I may need some support or I have special needs to a degree. Or I looked different.
