Hi, I’m 68 years old, hpefully to live until we some meaningful stuff back from the James Webb Telescope.I have a problem which more-or-less dooms in a year or three but that’s an aside.
I discovered i am Aspie several week’s ago and finally had an explanation for everything that life has thrown at me. I kind off feel like I’ve come home because I’ve now discovered people like myself.
A couple of comments: Frank Zappa does it for me – genius. Also in more recent times John Petrucci/Dream Theatre. I love guitar generally. I was drawn to it when I was pre-teens. I have several and build my own amps etc.
On Aspie-ism and atheism; my thinking is that my brain-wiring is what makes me both. And what Putin is doing to Ukraine is deeply upsetting for me. Misunderstood and mistreated as I have been, particularly in a couple of schools I attended, politicians of most stripes repel me. Totally anal if you know what I mean. They are of course elected because they are popular, not because they are smart. It i an unfortunate fact of life on this planet. Competitiveness seems to be innate to life. Not mine however 😉
Your rant on non-profit organizations struck a very loud chord.
I won’t bother starting a blog, just enjoy reading those created by others. I couldn’t add anything useful.Thanks for giving me the opportunity to communicate without having to sign up to anything. I don’t do social media – as a long time assembly language programmer and hobbiest electronics person I am fully aware that they who write the programs control the computer (contrary to what the purchasing public appear to think.
