The tough thing about getting diagnosed with something later in life is that it makes you question everything that came before it.

The best builders in public, imhro, are those that are authentic, transparent and educational. It does take practice and support to get there though. It's a scary thing to do. More people would get to that point with a better support system.

"Your boos mean nothing, I've seen what makes you cheer" is actually an excellent and life-affirming attitude

On the other hand—and I think this the crux of the matter and the revolutionary new departure—we have to take what useful work remains and transform it into a pleasing variety of game-like and craft-like pastimes, indistinguishable from other pleasurable pastimes except that they happen to yield useful end-products.

It's hard to sit there complaining about paying money if you can see it costs $300 get the accountant to file that thing we need, and that the person you enjoy talking to gets paid this much. Seeing it all transparently is quite powerful.
