So just to give you a background: I was diagnosed as autistic at 27 (I am now almost 40). I had a speech delay of roughly two years, I used to repeat movie lines a lot, I was kind of obnoxious as a kid/teenager and had trouble interacting with people if I wasn't trying to make them laugh. I was obsessed with heavy metal music and played bass guitar (still do!). I picked up the bass quickly and started playing in a band within 6 months of playing. I also developed perfect pitch.

What's interesting is that I dont have meltdowns. I only get sensory overload on occasion and it didn't used to happen at all when I was younger.

Do I sound like a typical "aspie"?

I see a lot of posts from vegans claiming that the reason that some vegans are not getting their nutrition is that they planned their diet poorly, or that the reason that many abandon veganism due to health issues is because their diets were incomplete.

How meticulous was your diet? Did you take a lot of supplements?

Do you want to play a different instrument but feel like you can't, or that there isn't any opportunity to do so?
