Yet . . . another autistic man who had been abused as a child, who was exploited as a teen, who put himself through college to earn a Master's Degree in electrical engineering, who fathered 2 successful sons, who was betrayed in marriage, who served honorably in the Navy, and who has remarried and retired comfortably to the Philippines with his wife of 30+ years garners no mention for his own "inspiring" story.

I agree with you, Fnord.

There'd be plenty of inspiring stories to be told about people on this site. You're one of them.
