Rocket Science & Autism (yes, I can and so can you)
When I say I love learning, I mean it. From neuroscience to cuneiform, my autistic brain thrives on deep dives into complex subjects. That's why I’m currently taking "Rocket Science for Everyone" at Yale University via Coursera.
Here are six fascinating facts I learned about orbital mechanics—yes, the physics that keeps satellites in space! 
Studying orbital mechanics teaches me more than just science—it trains my brain to think differently, to break down problems, and to embrace new challenges. Just like rocket science, autism isn’t about limitations; it’s about finding the right trajectory.

Can one have a favorite orbit?
While geosynch calms the "everything in it's place/in order" part of my brain, I identify more with Pluto.
(I'm still in the "Pluto is a planet!" camp)
