Sometimes I look back on my life and wonder exactly how much of my life and current personality is purely due to the autism.

And my parents'. And some of my grandparents'.
- The ones assuring you "that's normal, just try harder" you mean?
  
  Oh no, they were full on messes who had no idea why. But I know. Too late, but I know.
Yup. After my diagnosis there was a lot that suddenly made sense looking back on it.
Ok this is kinda unrelated but the phrase "looking back on my life" triggered a meta-memory of one of my favorite lesser known Green Day songs from my adolescence, and I've decided to subject you all to the lyrics of the first verse/chorus.

Looking back upon my life and the places that I've been Pictures, faces, girls that I've loved, I try to remember when Faded memories on the wall, some names I have forgotten But each one is a memory, I look back on so often I look into the past I want to make it last I was there I was there

Thanks, hadn't heard that one in a while.
- Cool! Btw, how did you get those words to come out purple??
  
  They're not purple on my side, must be your app. I just formatted it as a code block with the ``` on either side.
it can't be that hard to photoshop some rainbow puzzle pieces over that ohio flag cmon now
what is the original image?
Mri is the only way to be sure
- I found out at 40. According to everyone in my life, they were pretty sure I was autistic within mins to hours of meeting me.
  
  Found out at age 44 that my autistic-like behaviour is due to being born without a corpus callosum in my brain.
I feel so one-dimensional
