This is a tough one to answer, I could list things like poetry, but that would be showing off, so I’m thinking outside the box.

• Archery I have been shooting on and off (mainly off recently) since 2008 when I did a beginner’s course for fun. Since then I’ve shot in club comps and joined the uk chapter of the Sons Of Archery.
• Chess. I started learning chess earlier in the year instead of my regular German course. Since then I’ve found I’ve a nack for it and my ELO is between 8-900 which after three months isn’t too shabby.
• Photography. It’s something I’ve always loved to do and it appears that I have an eye for it. I couldn’t tell you how to set up a shot ie aperture, exposure etc, I’m just an able to get the shot.
• Making the perfect cup of tea for Mrs Bob, even though I don’t drink it myself and never have.
• Back rub is another talent I apparently have according to Mrs Bob I’ll take her word for it

I’m sure somethings on the list aren’t exactly talents but who’s counting

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.
