I wonder if it was hard to get used to living abroad if you don’t like spontaneous heated conversations… that’s one of my top reasons for wanting to come back to Japan, it’s so easy to avoid those. I like deep or meaningful conversations, but once people start to get angry, I just want to leave it alone.

I wonder how much a diagnosis of ASD can be influenced by one’s cultural upbringing. Like how common is it that someone would be diagnosed in one country but not in another? Just something that popped into my mind because my behavior is interpreted so differently depending on who it is interpreting.

Anyway, it sounds like you are in a good place now 😊 glad to meet you.

Btw 58!? I'm mid-30's and we look the same age!

Nice to see some people coming from Listnerds and other projects besides blogging and gaming. The more variety here, the better.
