You are now hanging with the jocks.
I'm currently in conditioning for JV football. Tough as hell but with my multiple disorders (ADHD, SAD, Depression, and of course AS)

It's nice that I'm becoming one of the men I have admired since I was 12 years old and realized I couldn't shoot hoops for $hit.
