80, Just Diagnosed, Offering Support, Seeking Platonic Email Friendships

80-year-old retired professor, entrepreneur, advocate for abused children in Seattle USA, recently diagnosed autistic, looking especially for one or two strictly platonic email correspondence friendships. I'm interested less in casual chat than in gradually getting to know another autistic person through thoughtful, reciprocal emails or private messages—sharing experiences, ideas, ordinary life, humor, difficulties, discoveries, pain and gratitude. Age and gender matter less to me than curiosity, openness, kindness and reciprocity.

  • Having had his course my first semester at Berkeley, I think I could describe him low key, not normal or abnormal. His course was my most difficult ever but also most helpful. I sent him a thank you letter after his arrest and he wrote back. I tell people "He taught me everything I know but not everything he knew! He's the only homicidal psychopath that I know that I know!". Have a great day!
