105. Recently discovered I'm high functioning.

So for me rules, directions are what I'm all about. Thrive on exact expectations. Not so good at what you are describing. And again
it's a VERY recent discovery. I don't drive within the limits because I'm law abiding. I do because that's what is proclaimed all along the roadway every couple blocks or so AND I refuse to give my money to anyone for a ticket. I don't do expressways anymore and I haven't had an encounter with the police in 30+ yrs.
