People on the spectrum tend to be specialist thinkers - good at one thing and bad at others. (See six tips for traveling with an autistic child...
...autism in your early life. Exactly. When I started out there were no women working in the feed yards, only as secretaries in the offices. The scene where they put bull testicles on my car? That happened. The scene where they said the cowboys' wives didn't want me there? That happened...
