Deciphering gibberish?

[SlowCalculations]

I'm autistic and my special interest in psychology and philosophy. why I have these discussions is I'm just observing people and seeing their responses or how they come to their conclusions. It's "Rare" when I fall back to debates. When I do it's typically because I'm trying to figure something out. You don't find a ton in debates but you do find things. 
It's also a way to teach myself to remain calm under pressure.

Where are you on the spectrum? IE how well do you function?

I was diagnosed as being on the high functioning end of the spectrum at age 65, in 2012.  That explained a great deal about my life, but didn't  change all that much on a day to day sense. It did mean that I began to hate myself a bit less. 

I'm glad you're here.  I find it's a lot easier not having to try to interpret social cues and non verbal communication.  They're a pretty good bunch here mostly.   I hope you hang round for a while.

 This is a really complicated and long story so I'll try to sum it up. If you got any further questions though feel free to ask I don't mind.  I got diagnosed when I was seven because I wasn't engaging, walking, or speaking coherently. But how they diagnosed autism when I was 7 was basically saying your kids on the spectrum but we don't know where. So I got rediagnosed when I was a teenager and was given high functioning autism as a diagnosis by a professional. They didn't give the diagnosis of Aspergers because of my speech and walking being late. However, today high functioning autism isn't considered a term it's just all put together under autism. They decided to get rid of these terms because they were too nit-picky and all terms were "Autism" anyways. I disagree with leveling autism, but you could classify me as "Medium range" at the time I needed a lot of support and help and there were times where nobody thought I was going to be able to live alone. But the older I got the better I got and I'm now independent and doing fine, I have people who help me if it's needed but for the most part, I do everything on my own and I'm capable of caring for myself and making my own decisions. I do experience self-hate still, but I think it's related to traumatic experiences and how my disability was perceived by others. It's unfortunate, but I've since realized and have been told I'm quite gifted. Although it is very hard for me to accept going from you're dumb to you're an extremely intelligent young adult.
