Being the child of silent generation parents and way older siblings I was just the weird kid. Always being told there was something wrong with me but never did anything about it. Once I got older I was just called quirky and uncle nutsy by my nieces and nephews. I first found out I have aphantasia and anendophasia only 3-4 years ago and reading all the younger folks stuff on reddit and here I figured maybe that is why I was the way I was. Asked my wife and doctor and they said well yes of course you are on the spectrum.
