My Life Story

Hello, my name is Jillian Latorre (Jacob is my legal name as of 8/21/14), but I prefer to be called Jillian. I was diagnosed with autism at 18 months old. I have challenges like my social skills, losing my temper and mood swings. I'm also transgender (male to female), which changed my life in a positive way. I also used to have really bad problems about getting a girlfriend and being jealous about other couples (this was before I found my real self which is a woman). Ever since I found my real self my mood swings subsided a little bit, but still have them. I also used to have bad OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder), which I recently got over the symptoms, this was a huge accomplishment for me. I also love electrical engineering and trains, so those are my hobbies. I'm almost considered a prodigy in those areas, that's how much i get interested in stuff.

And that concludes my story of my life.
