I knew I was different all through childhood, but I learned to mask fairly well. Back then, unless you were a major disruption they just used euphemisms like "he marches to his own drummer". I was perfectly comfortable with my self-applied description, "a bit of a weirdo", but that's probably not ideal either.

34. Learning has been so empowering. I now know how to recognize and avoid burnout and bad sensory experiences, which is literally life changing. I've been able to review my childhood and see my past self with more compassion and understanding. There's been a lot of healing going on lately.
It sure would have been nice to have this knowledge earlier, but I'm so grateful to have it now. π

@ScottSoCal #tinybugs this could start some stories.
In my hands is a signed launch-day Xbox 360. Looking up, Bill Gates is smiling at me. Everybody in Best Buy is smiling.
I take off my Apple Vision. I am back in the retirement home. Nobody has visited me for 16 years. I put the Apple Vision back on.
I hold the Xbox 360. Everybody in Best Buy is smiling
#bugs A tiny - like the size of this i - leggy, pale green, millipede looking bug fell from a silver maple and landed on my hand. Then the tiny beast bit or stung me! I relocated the rude thing. One of its companions must have crawled up my pants leg and attacked there. Iβm afraid fatalities resulted.

So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
