Welcome to WP! I hope you enjoy the company here. And you made it to 52, got married and had kids, without discovering you are Autistic? That probably qualifies as "High-Functioning". I suspect if you get a formal diagnosis you will find it to be more of a conversation piece than anything ... |

Specifically, the AQ score I received was accompanied by two details: ▫ Your score is out of a possible 50 ▫ Scores in the 33–50 range indicate significant Autistic traits (Autism) It sounds to me like you are unofficially on the... |

While you are attending an anti-pudding rally would be a bad time for pudding. (Console yourself with some pudding.)

Last night we finished watching our way through season 1 of The Orville [2017–2022]. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYRL93Ayp_g Visually, it appears to have been inspired by Star Trek . Storywise, it is better than Star Trek . The Orville has plot points that make you think, and make you think tho... |

Welcome to WP! I hope you decide it is a good place for you.
Are you Autistic? We can't tell you that, of course. I recommend this online quiz: AQ. It might reinforce your suspicion, or suggest that you should research other possible explanations. |

Be sure you check with your insurance company for their rules (I guess that even applies to Medicare). I'm guessing a referral from your Primary Care Physician would be useful.
Good hunting! |

The Iron Age. Everyone else will be in horse-drawn wagons and sailboats. By driving a BUS around you can really impress everyone while offering a useful service. If you spray anything into the air it spreads out and disperses until is gone. But, clouds are just a bunch of water droplets in the air. ... |

A couple of significant gals in my life (dated but didn't marry) were kind enough to give me some advice.
I ended up following a simple pattern. My bride tolerates how I dress; I won't claim she thinks it's great. |
