What I Wish We Knew: The Memos of an Undiagnosed Autistic with a Side of Post-Traumatic Stress
"I am ""that guy"". I know why they ran. I made them uncomfortable. I am the reason a lot of people don't answer their phones. I have been fired, kicked out of school, in debt, separated, fired, evicted, in deeper debt, lost a business, kicked out of school again, fired, divorced, even deeper debt, kicked out of a band, labeled as ""un-hirable"", closed another business, fired, unable to buy groceries, oh-my-goodness-how-far-into-debt-are-they-going-to-let-me-go... And now, I have a beautiful wife (who used to hate my guts), two great kids, a job I enjoy, a successful hobby, an imaginary dog, and, most of all, peace with the world I live in.
