I grew up visual- got a 2 year basic electronics degree and design now, never learned the greek math of the EE as what it described- phase shifts as well as frequencies and amplitudes- they created an "imaginary number" to describe something visually obvious.

Took this artist 3 tries to pass algebra in high school- 3rd try was with a math teacher not a tenure delegated PE coach teaching an aside. They told me that there are no square roots of negative numbers; That was absolute value's gig.

Today, we can still look at other's work and offer insights into why something hums, say- When visual memory reinforced over decades becomes muscle memory; Good thing. Mom passed at 67 having had Alsheimers for her last 7 years. I'm 68 and only seeing the shadows of it.

Whats weird is this echoes the blossoming of dyslexia last year that became obvious fast.

Nothing of value comes without cost. I'm not complaining; Its not journalism as the media does not cover individual experiences with mental illness save from the victims of their crimes.

But it sort of is, if you too are aging and on the spectrum. I always loved writing and aced descriptive writing in college when Dr. Mac had us describe a picture to him that we sealed in an envelope, such that when he opened it and put the drawings on the light table they were in focus.

My drawing for this elective class in my degree was the 3 legged optical illusion Mad Magazine made popular ages ago. Why all he needed was a ruler and pen to give me an A on it.
