Yay, Clay! : Aspies 'Anonymous'?

[Guest guest]

I too am usually content with who I am. I cannot think of anyone

I'd trade places with, even as I admire one or another I meet. We

all have our rough spots. Mostly I think 'there but for the grace of

god go I' as a grumbly person crosses my horizon, levels a shot

at me and grumbles right past me like a bear with a bellyache.

Even at my gloomiest, I am able to find a glimpse of the silver

lining. I now think that's part of my Aspie gift, to see a way out of

what looks like a mess or to sidestep cowpies as I pick my way

through the cow-pasture of life. If I get static, I just tune to a

different channel. That is, I suspect, what makes me wonder

what 'bored' is when I hear people talk about 'being bored' -- as

I've long been able to choose what my mind plays with, no matter

what chaos goes on around me. -Zer(SoCal Aspie, too blessed

to be stressed... and delighted to meet Mine Own People here)
