Why, yes, I do have autism.
As do I.
Never diagnosed, as I grew up before autism or "on the spectrum" were ever a thing.
I was called an "egghead", a "nerd", a "geek", "shy", "a late bloomer", and was uncoordinated, and flapped when excited, etc.. The whole gamut of (now) easily identifiable "symptoms".
Fortunately, things turned out pretty well, perhaps even *because of* this characteristic.
Disappointing theists since 1968!
