I'm not new here. I joined on the day I retired from a fabulously fulfilling 50 year career as a professional engineer helping to improve the health, wealth and happiness of literally billions of people around the globe, winning an international (UK) design award to start the ball rolling and a bigger international (UNESCO) environmental award when it was finished.
I was worried I wouldn't know what to do with myself in my retirement but my feet have hardly touched the ground since then and I have developed new careers as an autie / aspie activist, coach, counsellor, consultant, bestselling author and publisher, and I'm developing a business plan to compile a pre-schooling, home-schooling, and special-educational-needs-schooling system for auties / aspies who don't do well at state schools for whatever reason, and therefore don't get satisfying jobs and fulfil their highest selves, get married, and have kids and grandkids, and something to look back on when they get to my age and say, well done, thou good and faithful servant, best white-knuckle ride in the whole of this goddam Planet Earth theme park.
