I'm with you there. The eye-ties don't lace everything with hot spices like so many countries do, and tomato puree is full of nutritious lycopene. Then there's the olive oil, very healthy. Lots of flavour, and a nice stodgy texture. If I ever want a change of diet, pasta will be high on my list of possible new food.

I was never bullied or coerced forcibly into behaving. And everyone around me learnt the hard way that's not how it works for me.
That me being told that's what everyone else did and I should doesn't work.

I was challenged and dared into it.
Made a competition. I want to win. Win I did.
That's was my reward; seeing that I did better than most who couldn't control themselves.


The same vein; being the fastest in class; writing, answering tests, finishing projects...

Being the one who answered most questions, being a completionist in homeworks by doing it before going home, in attendance, in not getting late...


A daring self challenge, not being pressured or coerced. No one challenged me, my ego did.

That's one major difference I experienced childhood as an autistic in mainstream.

And I'm not even one of those gifted types.
I just appeared to be like one, happened to be able to keep up at it, just as curious and questioning.


Even punching someone, running away out of rage and frustration... My meltdowns...

Everyone around me figured; that's not my fault.
Everyone figured; someone or something had bothered me.

Everyone knew I cannot ignore my feelings.
I hate it. I'd rather have a poker face.
That's another major difference.

I would have loved to have been around during The Summer of Love in San Francisco. A lot of bands sounded like The Monkees back than.

I feel like my brain operates in cycles similar to a computer. I'm not analog. I'm digital...especially my fingers :P

Warning: pedantry ahead

I'm incapable of posting a random truth about myself because my cognition is inherently biased...I'm so sorry.

Is it the guy behind the heel bar at Timpsons who'll sell you a paper bag with a bit of shoe glue in it for a couple of quid?
