Dividing lines in your life

Post Reply New Topic

Do there happen to be any "dividing lines" in your life? Here I mean some events that changed your life in this way that you perceive your life as being divided into two parts: "before" and "after". They don't have to be anything tragic like: me when I was healthy and me when I'm in a wheelchair or even more significant like: me before I got married and me as a wife but generally such ones that are important enough to shape your life in this way that looking back at it, you can say that your life afterwards wasn't exactly the same as before.

In my case - to show you what I mean:

My life before I turned 18 and after - because when I turned 18, I realized finally that I was not ever going to turn normal as I hoped for my entire life, my hope got shattered.

My life before I knew about PDD's and after - it was when I was 23 when I realized I could be on the spectrum.

yeah, these are the 2 biggest ones, may or may not be mutually exclusive.

before and after i met her. (august 2011)

before and after starting secondary school. (august 2009)

Yeah, 1998, 2006, 2008, 2012. Mine are mostly tragic.

i think when i turned 19 and finally started realizing how serious asperger's really is, and not just some label that justifies my inability to catch a football as i believed for so long (poor motor skills was really all i was led to believe it was)

probably around age.. 13? by that time, my entire family had broken up and my brother lost interest in everything that wasn't weed and alcohol.

*graduation from high school
*joining army
*graduation from army tech school
*ETS army, matriculation into civil service
*involuntary retirement
*finding wrongplanet.net
*meeting one in a 300+ million person on wrongplanet.

the last one was a biggie.
