I might actually be going up in functionality without realizing it.
I wonder if it is possible to move along the spectrum? Is it us that changes, or the world that changes around us? It's all relative I guess. |
I think my traits of an Aspie were much more pronounced when I was younger. I did not have as many coping skills as I do now at 57. I think the world is getting harder to live in because there are more distractions and more technology to learn and more variables to deal with but as we age we learn more strategies and skills to handle all of these stressors so we actually most probably move a little further up the spectrum.
