    Ok this is kinda unrelated but the phrase “looking back on my life” triggered a meta-memory of one of my favorite lesser known Green Day songs from my adolescence, and I’ve decided to subject you all to the lyrics of the first verse/chorus.

    Looking back upon my life and the places that I've been 
Pictures, faces, girls that I've loved, I try to remember when 
Faded memories on the wall, some names I have forgotten 
But each one is a memory, I look back on so often

I look into the past 
I want to make it last 
I was there 
I was there

    Thanks, hadn’t heard that one in a while.

            Mine (web browser) does the same. Looks as if [programming code] syntax hilighting failed at determining the programming language but hilighted some possible keywords anyway. iow:

            if viewing_app.defaults['hilight_code'] == true:
  try(codeblock.interpret('is this Python somehow?'))

      I found out at 40. According to everyone in my life, they were pretty sure I was autistic within mins to hours of meeting me.

        Found out at age 44 that my autistic-like behaviour is due to being born without a corpus callosum in my brain.

            I have a somewhat elevated sensitivity to interpersonal interactions that result in involuntary embarassment displays that i try to ignore but seldom succeed at. And that video is limited in accuracy as it is predicated on the idea that the split brain was originally a single organ but became divided at some point leading to more defined differences between the two sides whereas those of us born this way have had our whole lives to cope, adjust, and compensate at the conscious as well as subconcious level. Ive had 60 years for both of me to figure out the best way to function and aside from the occasional redfaced reaction to a normally undetectable stimulus i think ive done pretty well

              Thanks for sharing! What would you change in the video?

              That sounds interesting! Could you share some stories with us please?

                Not a lot to tell. Always happier (and safer) alone so work to maintain that lifestyle as much as possible outside of having to work for a living like everyone else. Like i said the only way this condition differentiates me from “normal” people is the reflex redface that pops up at inconvenient times. Since that video is as old as it is i would add some more details of new theories that have been brought to light since then. People like me are not different enough from anyone else to be noticeable unless you spend a lot of time with us, which, as i said i work to avoid ,)
