clatterbane: youneedacat: codeman38: youneedacat: [Alphabet bracelet that says “10 GOTO 1 RUN ERROR".] I made this as a little kid. Not sure what better proof of neuro-atypicality I’ve got. :-P …As someone who spoke BASIC at a young age, I love this. Yeah I think I might have spoken BASIC before I fully spoke English. My stepdad’s idea of keeping me occupied when I was 7 or so was to set me down in front of his TRS-80 with a book on learning BASIC. That approach probably worked better with me than it would have dealing with some other kids. :) We had a VIC-20 and my brothers thought it was fun to teach me to do stuff on it.
