| Hi ... There don't seem to be very many people like me around. Old farts who discover they are autistic very late in life. I couldn't find a success stories section on Wrong Planet. It seems a good idea to occasionally remind ourselves that what we have is a gift. Anyway, I'd like to share my succes... |

There are many times when stress causes me to ruin something that is valuable to me.
It is as though something inside doesn't want me to be stressed and "stops" the activity surrounding it.

In it, he describes the fictions we create as a strategy for restoring harmony within. Although he was writing for an NT audience, I am now aware of mys... |

Nice Job!
If you'd like to start a comic strip or illustrate a graphic novel, let me know.
Maybe we could collaborate (you illustrate, I write.)

| I'm not sure it's a good idea to petition for rights unless the stakes are high. Petetioning to change this or that classification or rule seems petty and mis-guided. Political action where massive concensus has been reached (and where the stakes are high) seems like a much better use of one's polit... |

| Thanks. It's ironic that because I didn't know that I wasn't "supposed" to do some things, I was able to do them. I've never been able to read fiction, but learned how to write it by researching the cognitive scientists, Michael Austin (Useful Fictions) and David Hermann (Story Logic, Narratologies,... |
