:iconcrescotheeko: posted a little thing where he described stuff about his Autism, so I thought I might as well do it too.

Name: 
Huy Minh Le

Age: 22

Type of Autism: PDD-NOS and signs of Aspergers.

Talent (besides your art skills on DA): Writing, definitely writing. Whether it's appreciating someone else's writing, or to give feedback on someone's writing, just writing in general. Mostly character-based writing.

Likes in general:  Games, Books, Movies, anything with a story to tell. Even Theatre if I have the money. I also like to listen to the work-in-progress of other people. I never judge unfinished work, as in my opinion, everything will always be a work-in-progress.

Dislikes in general: People who seem dead-set on liking or hating something before they even experience it. Especially when they claim they want to become a writer or designer of sorts, since keeping an open mind is like the pure basics of everything. You can like a game company or hate a studio all you want, but keep enough of an open mind that either can do both wrong and right.

What keeps you calm: Music and drawing.

What annoys you: When someone criticizes some trivial thing, not so much for entertainment or because it really annoys them, but for some misguided feeling of superiority for "I noticed this fault before you did."
I personally think it doesn't just ruin it for other people but also themselves, considering they're so busy finding faults in everything that they are unable to appreciate the fun parts of things. Basically party poopers for the sake of some self righteous image complex.

Sensitive to: Heat. Definitely heat. And crowds, which usually comes together with the former. Body heat. :P

Fetishes (be honest): Well, no way I can hide from this XD
I do kinda like the image of a young little sister that's dependent on her big brother ^^;
I cross the line at them actually doing anything though.

Addicted to: Tic Tacs.

Weakness: I suffer from procrastination. XD
I seem to be unable to finish what I start.
I do try to combat it by having people warn me, but then stuff like School comes in your way :P

Strength: When I start something though, I'm VERY enthusiastic. I could come up with a complete backstory of a character the moment a team member has the basic sketch of them. I could come up with great character developments just by hearing someone telling about a character flaw. I can come up with several challenges just by hearing someone talk about a game concept.

Exact dream: To start a little company with the people I care about. I don't just want to make a company. I want to have a family of game designers who just want to make games for fun. We still need money, of course, but I do consider the money to be a means and the games to be the goal.

This was an interesting read and I guess that procrastination is a thing most people (especially artists) have to cope with.
Sometimes the problem is having 'too many' ideas or trying too hard to finish something quickly but in a qualitative manner, meaning you'll soon stumble over your own perfection in one way or another, having things 'not-going-your-way' can also help in making that task harder. At certain times it's like you're trying to push a brick through a sieve.

It's hard to realise your dreams, even if you have the means to do so, it just takes a strong will to keep on pushing through, but in the end it'll be worth it. :D
