Uhhh... What to say...
Uhm, I have a huge sense of humor and am laughing about introducing myself... This is not normal...
On the other hand, I read through a few threads and thought "Hey! I know youse guys!"
So - I'm old, now retired, but still high functioning autistic. This is actually a cool point in life because I don't have to fake normal to survive - my name, TBRS1, stands for "Terran Biological Research Station - 1," because I generally feel like - just being alive - I am running an experiment, learning how to survive amongst humans in THEIR natural environment ('cause it's not like they've going to try surviving in MY natural environment).
Anyway, my thing is "I grow stuff." Plants, fungi, you name it. We understand each other. I also build and fix machines. We also understand each other.
Since I am retired, live in the country, and don't have to fake normalacy any more, my current experiment is learning to use my magic brain the way it likes being used instead making it do what the "normal" manual says it should be doing.
This greatly improves my mood and feels really, really good.
Thanks fer yer patience (did I make enough sense? LOL)
