I wonder how many autistic & SMI people are the same?

To use a football analogy: I'm like the person who could've had a good career as a premier league footballer if he hadn't been viciously fouled during a youth game. With the injury then being inadequately treated.

That person can talk a good game but can't display it on the pitch.That's me and my mind. I've always had the footballing knowledge = IQ, but not the ability to use it = can't get on the pitch to actually play.

Alot of folks, even the 'normal', and the neurotypical, identify with Marlon Brando's character in "On the Waterfront".

I've seen that clip umpteen times,but have never watched the whole movie.

Niether have I actually seen the movie. Though a number of slightly older folks recommended it when I was young.

Yes, me too. Without the trauma, I feel I would have had a chance of doing quite well. That said, life ain't over and I am learning more and more about living inside of me.
