Hi all! My name is Mark, but you can call me Pagliaccio for fun.

I'm one of those later-in-life diagnosed autistic folks that seem to be popping up from here-there and everywhere. Diagnosed autistic a couple of years ago in my mid 50's. I don't have any other conditions, apart from a touch of sciatica.

I'm not sure what I can contribute or get out of this, just passing through and saying hi to all you beautiful people out there in internetland.

Welcome to Wrong Planet. I looked up the word sciatica. I tried to envision if it might be an aspie trait. It came up blank. Enjoy you stay in this strange region of the universe.

Hi Jimmy. Sciatica is a nerve pain of the leg and lower back endured by mostly old farts like me. Glad to see you have avoided it. :wink:

I am sorry to hear about your nerve pain. I am an old fart myself since I am 74 years old and will soon be 3/4s of a century old in a few days. Generally I do not have any such pain. Except when I was a young teenager, I was attacked in class at school by a gang of boys for about 3 years and they did some physical damage to my neck. So as I aged, I could feel it a little sore and my neck still cracks as I move it.
