I put the “might” in quotations because, being that I was 4 at the time and I don’t remember much. It’s a stretch, but it may be possible.

From what my mother has said about what I said, I had told her that there was a man in my dresser. When she asked what he looked like, I told her that I didn’t know. (Can’t remember if it was because I didn’t have the vocabulary to describe being that I have aphasia or I legitimately had no idea what he looked like.)

That was the last time I mentioned the man.

I have reason to believe that it might have been something. As a kid, I literally never mentioned a single imaginary friend. And even if I talked to nothing, I was always talking to myself as though I was a different person.

I also got into the sciences really soon after. I was really into astronomy, as much as a 4 year old can understand. I got into human biology, I got a picture book that describes how humans go through puberty and the life cycle of humans. I had a toy where I could place and take out mini organs. I would take take scrap paper and write symbols (that looked nothing like the Latin letters) every week until like the age of 6.

Am I overthinking or over anylyzing things? I’m not autistic, I was checked like 3 times. Be honest here.
