Did he know? I mean, that was such a different time. Even if he "knew" he didn't really know.

IMO it's those on the spectrum that makes advances in the world. Nts ... Well ... They're just normal. Not exceptional. Not visionary. Just boring sameness.

That sounds harsh and I'm sure not true across the board, but... Without autistics and aspires and the highly and profoundly gifted, mankind would never have even found fire. However, I'm not hg or pg maybe a ltlle more than average, but thats all. Nothing special.

Currently in WI. Probably at least four more years. Then, who knows? I only know it'll be someplace gd warm!
