Should You Have a Roommate?

How would you decsribe your sleep schedule?
What do you need to fall asleep?
How much time do you think you'll be spending in your dorm room?
You come home to find your dorm room filled with some of your roommate's friends; they're laughing, playing music, chatting, and having a good time. After a typical day, how would you normally react?
Your roommate has a habit of leaving their dirty dishes by the sink, and it takes them a while to clean them. This bothers you a lot, what do you do?
Your roommate confronts you one evening about how you never throw your spoiled food away. It's true, but when food spoils you hate throwing it out because the odors are overwhelming to you. How do you react to this confrontation?
Your roommate is not a neat and tidy person. They used to leave their clothing and items all over the room, but you two had a talk about keeping the room a little cleaner. They've improved, but their side of the room is still a bit messy. However, they keep the mess controlled to their side of the room; it doesn't cross over into your space. What do you think about this?
If you engage in stimming, or self-stimulatory behaviors (ex: hand flapping, rocking, repeating noises or words, etc.), how do you think you'll feel stimming in a shared space or with your roommate around?
