Wow, that's very interesting; the creator of Pokemon has autism; I applaud him and his success very much. And, Wow. That's a tough question within the first 30 seconds to a minute. In short, I am a bit impulsive, compessive, and even when I TRY to save for the future, it ends up getting spent on my bills; my father makes me pay rent to help with their bills as well. I have overcome a LOT of obstacles myself. Although I've had special education during the young years of my life, I was mainstreamed the Majority of my life. I have had a LOT of Gal-Pals in my lifetime, yet the concept of dating and sex has eluded me until I turned 21, while I was in College. I was on Honor Roll in Providence Middle and Manchester High Schools, throughout. Got my Diploma, a Star Pin for my Grades, and NO AWARDS for my Creativity; I TOOK NUMEROUS Art Classes (Paint, Clay, Needlepoint, Photography, Computer Graphics and many, many other styles); I EXCELLED in ART; my drawings of perspective viewpoints are surpassive, as you can see in my comics. I earned two degrees in Computer Aided Drafting and Design at Piedmont Virginia Community College, and made the Dean's List. I was employed two times in my lifetime. Two months at a newly constructed Wendy's restaurant in my neighborhood, but got the pink slip, because the boss had a low opinion of me based on my autism and such. I did enjoy the job while I had it. One summer I was employed as a Salesman for Cutco products; the owners of the "Double-D" Edge and the Super Shears that can cut a penny to create a pig-tail. Lifetime Guarantee on sharpness. The boss left at Summer's end, and I lost that job. FYI, I was very cautious with my samples of cutary, and I do not have any intentions of harming myself or anyone else. My record is clean. I also was a Volunteer Assistant Gym Leader at the Pokemon TCG League from 1998 to June, 2008 when the new store owner hated my spunk and kicked me out of the store; lifetime. I miss my Friday Nights playing and trading, conversing with my the main Gym Leader and the few peers just under my age who attended. My father helped me get my Social Security set up; I get more a month than I could at a job. Yet with my impuslive shoppiness (mostly controable), I end up spending my side-money after I get it. Also, the Sweetheart Search, as portrayed in the Sub-Episodes were true for the time. Until Mid-September, 2008 when I finally met, online, and started chatting and talking through mics and speakers, Sarah Cassandra McKenzie, who has earned her degree at her university in Australia for becoming a Biology Teacher. She will be moving to Virginia, USA to be employed at a school here and to be with me. We truly love each other. But I digress. I guess I got carried away in my explination for your question. to figure out a FULL, short answer out of my life's story would take a LOT of time, but I gave you a nutshell answer, based on the adjectives my loving, caring mother shared with me. ...complicated, Mr. Miyamoto. *sigh* I'm sure you can understand and relate better to me now. My Life DVD I put together on my 25th Birthday covers a LOT in photographs and whatnot, but the emotions can only be truly expressed in writing, drawing and art. Peace,
