#like what neurotypical 14/15 year old would do THAT for a simple project

[psychoticwillgraham]

randomly reminded of a history class project I had to do in 9th grade where I had to pick a European country and do a presentation on it but the biggest component was to hand draw a map of said country with the major rivers and cities labeled and my autistic ass took that as a challenge and picked Russia and ended up making THE most detailed hand drawn (and I mean like I tried to get the shape EXACTLY right to the point it looked like I’d traced it) map that my teacher had ever seen anyone do for this project and I hand wrote out all the unpronounceable names (in Cyrillic btw) and every. single. river and mountain range in the EXACT spot it’s supposed to be in and COLOR COORDINATED the map with a legend in the corner of all the different colors and symbols.

it was probably the size of a full sized dinner table long and wide regular map. just for Russia btw. got it in two weeks late and got a C for it bc of how late it was but he literally kept it for future classes as an example of what it should look like. that’s how autistic i was lmao
