Also, this is in part one of the few descriptions I do in part find applicable, together with an explanation of why it took me a few months from initial thought and two weeks from inital typing to hitting Publish. Oh well.

It’s sort of weird. I read the writings of a lot of autistic people, but when it comes to linking to one or a few pieces on a given subject, those by you and a small number of others are those that come to mind, simply because those are the ones that make the most sense to me.

I’m actually trying to limit that trend when possible, partly to expose people to a wider range of views, but mostly due to old memories of being considered annoying and clingy if I tried giving someone my age any kind of attention.

That is, one may have an emotional conversation with someone on his territory, and leave with the feeling of having something to say, but not know exactly what to say and how to say it.

Then, halfway down the stairwell, one thinks of the perfect retort.

Hey, autism comes in degrees. Doesn’t it? I mean, I think I’m mostly normal, but have enough of a touch and taste of it to sympathize here.

All the best, Justthisguy.
