I kid you not, I had no idea about autism in 1985. I was high on hormones wanting to kiss a girl like any other kid (my Lutheran church had overnight sleepovers that was coed, how progressive can you be? Got some kissing and hugging in at 14! )

LIke a simple basement room with like 30 kids. Listen to songs, play some teenage games. #WakeIndraTeenageDreams

Do you remember Y2K? I was on he Paul Allen Y2K consulting team, I was it. Before I got fired and escorted out some moths before Y2K...

You know what level 1 autism in 1986 looks like...

My two brothers, 6 and 8 years older than me, did same high school, worked at 16 at McDonald's.... so I did this (despite having a software social media app and computer PC biz in mom's basement I was doing as side gigs)

I couldn't take McDonald's with unknown autism. I"m like, this is for he birds. Beeping 1986 buzzers, drive through radios, dancing around cooking or packaging food or running a register. Autism sensory overload. So what does

a high school kid do?

I wrote a letter to a Pentagon Military Contractor, you know the "Military Industrial Complex" itself that had a satellite office in Fort Wayne, Indiana but was actually based out of 1986 bleeding edge Santa Monica, California.

And they created a job for me because I wrote them a typed letter and said I wanted a white collar job, not McDonald's

I was in the Military Indus rial Complex doing Cold War stuff to have machines kill Russian humans at age 16.
