Great imagery, Scot and I can hear your wife saying the very words. Like how you told a fun story and experience and educated us on neurodiversity. Do you know that Dr. Michael Bury, the Standford MD turned star trader in the book/movie, The Big Short? Similar to you, he found out he was autistic after his wife gave him the same diagnositc test originally meant for only their son.
Anyways, I really can relate on a different level in a story I wrote and am updating on my 1 year anniversary of a restless leg issue that challenges me by keeping me up most nights...thought it might be used for my weekly story for the Writing Nerds.
And thanks again for starting our group. So cool
