recentlly diagnosed, long suspected aspie.

For the most part, I have a good life. I'm a professor at a large university. Work in neuroscience these days. Love it. Daddy to 2 kids. Married.

Since I am pretty good at wordplay or clever putdowns, I managed to get through high school and college by being the "funny guy". As such, I've gotten pretty good at aping conventional behavior, but it does exhaust me to have to pretend to care about some of the things everyone else seems to care about.
