Today, I finally explain the origins of my social media username: AstronoMisfit. It's a long and very personal story, but I hope it makes sense and that it may resonate with others who had a similar experience to me.
Clarification around 4:18 since the timeline is confusing: My parents may have separated, but weren't legally divorced around the time of my brother's diagnosis. My memory isn't entirely perfect, but those two events did happen fairly close to each other in time. A simple summary of the chain of events prior to age 15: 1. Chad's autism diagnosis 2. Parents' divorce 3. Moving in with paternal grandparents 4. Moving out from grandparents' care and with dad + stepmom + Chad 5. Chad moves out 6. Start of High School
I like that username in youtube and it a cool name. It actually impressive you became a physicist PhD graduate, learning a data science and now into a youtube content creator.
I'm usually a silent viewer, but thanks for sharing. I compeltely feel what you mean, not fitting in, growing up too fast. Right now I'm also close to probably starting a PhD (or starting a big mistake in my life) but we wil see how things will end up.
