Conversation Between Pyrotex and Michaelangelica

I was always 'taken' as the last kid left, never chosen for my athletic abilities - this apparently could be a good indicator of Aspergers Syndrome. By the way, how dare you be older than me and seemingly interested in numbers, when apart from Sport, Maths was my next worse subject?)."

Me too.
I have spent all my life trying to stop thinking in pictures-which "short circiuits" the logical system. This, so i can communicate-especially my many ideas- with others. I can often see the relevance of new idea (eg terra preta, fashion etc) long before others . This can be very frustrating, trying to brek this down into logic for the 'slow ones".
Now i find a European computer company is valuing Asperger's people so much that they are ONLY hiring them! O. for an environment where your different thought processes were valued and used. It is too late for me now.
