I wanted to see how many people on WP reached an advanced age without knowing there was an inborn reason and that the capacity for voluntary change was limited.
In a way, I'm glad I didn't understand that sooner. If I'd've understood that I'm neurologically different, I might not have had the same belief that I could change, as far as things I have changed, and that needed changing.
But, on the other hand, I wish I'd've understood when I was young, that, well, that there's not something wrong with me, basically. That the autistic part if me isn't ugly or unacceptable, just different and not so good at the social stuff.
