Tough question

What is one thing you would change about yourself?

There are many things or traits that I could say I’d like to change about myself. Although if I’m honest, I wouldn’t change a thing about myself .

Why? Well without all them, I wouldn’t be the well rounded individual I am today.

If it wasn’t for my autism I may never have had such a successful science and engineering career, without my stubbornness and fight. I’d maybe have never joined the army, and I’d maybe without my PTSD and depression I might never have picked up a pen and started scribbling. What would go on to become (over 20 years) a fantastic gift that’s helped others as well as myself. So without all my life experiences I wouldn’t be me.
