A troll on the Wiki back in the day was right. I have autism. I used to be embarrassed about it. I used to tell my family to treat it like it's something to be offended by. I also hid it in the military. Why? Because................ I embrace it now.
According to the CDC, and other folks or whatever, I'm on the high-functioning autism, or Asperger syndrome, or "gifted", end. You distinguish. I'm exhausted trying to. If I copy you, it might be intentional or uintentional (echopraxia). Relax. I ain't trying to annoy you. Just by copying, I picked up on the cool use of quoting with the green text. However, my echopraxia was treated very well medically and doesn't happen a lot anymore. So if I copy a person, it's usually intentional, but it still feels compulsive. The autistic savant thing ain't a joke. Believe it or don't believe it, but it exists and I have it.
In terms of media attention for autism, I like stories like this..................
