tradsteve,I make ice cream for a living also frozen yogurt play guitar,bowed psaltery,auto harp mainly for my own amusement, but I have been a nurse, printer,weaver,manager in a print works,cnc turner/miller, I wonder what the psychologists would make of that.
In a hospital that I worked in I had a young man on my ward who was autistic,he was a fantastic artist.One day we had a visit from some student psychologists and as they walked round they stoped to admire the drawing he was working on, it was of a big house well mansion really set in park land with a big drive and a gate lodge, "whats that he was asked", "its where I live" he replied" he went on to tell them about the famous people he had met when he went home at weekends By then you could see them shaking their heads and as They walked away one of them said loudly "its clearly delusional" and how if they were in this hospital they would cure him quickly but as it was pointed out to them he did live in a mansion but we were better equiped at dealing wuth the problems he had than were his parents. So I never take anything at face value.
Sorry for taking up your time just wanted to say it.
