I grew up retarded, but my life didn't turn out the way I expected.
I had speech problems. I was in the learning center. My best friend in elementary had down syndrome. Many of my friends took the short bus. I'm absolutely serious about the retarded bit as I did not do well on the IQ test... at all.
Somehow, me, an idiot became a principal engineer and is retired at 40. I spent the last couple of days playing with legos.
Life is strange and wonderful.
You are not going to survive life, so don't expect anything just do your best and play the game.

- mathgladiator 4y agoI have never even heard of this before. As an adult, I have learned that I may be on the spectrum from a few psychologists interactions. I was always on the computer either playing games, making stuff, or installing linux for the 37th time trying to deal with WinModem. Honestly, for most of my education, I just felt like people were disappointed in me and just didn't bother. Paradoxically, I did amazing in university (and it was kind of easy, but I did go to a state school). Reading this wiki page is blowing my mind.
