Ah, no need to be sorry, Pete! It's never too late to make use of new information and I'm endlessly fascinated by the way the mind works. It interested me greatly that Anima mentioned Asperger's in the comments on the piece about LLI, as all three of my sons are diagnosed aspies and I have wondered if I have a touch of it myself. It's very interesting to see that mentioned in the realm of creative thinking as AS gets a bad press in terms of lack of imagination but all three of my boys are very creative in their own ways. I wouldn't say that my thinking was any quicker than anyone else, but I do tend to get overwhelmed by excessive sensory input and can be intense sometimes. I go along with convention but don't have much time for or interest in conformity, really. I thought I was just perverse, but now I know I'm a creative thinker that makes it so much easier to accept being a bit different. Thanks so much for the enlightenment!
