Indeed... in fact I feel sure there are a few of our fellow TIBB posters who tick an awful lot of boxes


I was born in the late 1950’s and I always knew I was different .. .. I just seemed to perceive things differently to everyone else .

I was lucky enough to attend a good school ,a grammar school yet I hated every single minute - it was a very difficult time for a loner like myself. It didn’t help that the teachers were strict and had high expectations .

Anyways, I often struggled with things others could do yet equally when the class were all having trouble I’d find that part relatively simple .

Turns out I was an extremely ‘visual’ learner .

It was a great relief in my 30’s to learn about autism and Asperger’s syndrome and suddenly have a reason to explain all my seemingly odd traits .
