You can read about some of it here, though it is focused on relations and overall mental health:

Only thing I run into academically is that my memory may be worse, that I am not as flexible doing practical work (though I may never have been) and that I sometimes argue too much with supervisors that are younger than me.
LOLL, that's pretty blunt but that's true. And I agree, it's pure logic.

Woww, that's amazing, congratulations!! I'll check that link you gave me, thanks!

Oh well, it's all part of getting old. lol I'm not as fast as I used to be in some situations, like, I used to be able to finish minesweeper easy games in 9 seconds, at age 12 and now, 14 years later, I can't do better than 35 seconds. Some things using the brain, I lost some speed. I also run a little slower and I lost flexibility , I'm much less hyperactive but I improved dramatically in other ways. I'm so much smarter, more mentally stable, more wise and I'm wayyy stronger after over 2 years of gym in the body. I don't mind losing something, as long as I can replace it with something equivalent.
