I remember a poll once that asked 'do you think of yourself as a robot?' I understood it was a fun 'you might be autistic' type questiion because i had seen similar before and recognised some of the pixels. I couldn't answer it. It hadn't said *when* Walking with purpose i'm a timberwolf mech. My legs go in the direction i'm moving, my torso rotates to track the objective, i don't rotate at my neck. Driving, i'm a transformer chosing not to stomp traffic today - maybe Prowl, maybe Miirage depending on how much i'd rather be elsewhere. Coding, i'm a brain in a mainframe. Manipulating stuff, i'm the robot arm you plugged into the bbc micro at school but with a worn actuator. Around people i'm a battered C3 protocol droid having a hard time of it. I explained this to my wife who said it's remarkable how good my protocol droid is that i'm only getting diagnosed at 45. What robots are you? #autism #robots #transformers #C3P0 #battletech #mechwarrior #bbcmicro
