    As one of those weird autists who make computing too hard who’s been using Apple products for decades I really wonder where I fit in.

      The answer is pretty simple. You are a “normie” with your own particularities, like every other human on this planet.

      Don’t fall into the trap of thinking like the idiot you’re replying to that we are smarter than everybody else. In many cases, the dumb-dumbs calling the (stupid) shots are from within our ranks, or used to be techies, and that doesn’t make them immune to errors. The arrogance in the person you’re replying to is unwarranted, and they’re just plain wrong.

      We’re not the chosen ones - we’re just as special as everybody else.

        Oh, I have no illusions that I’m smarter than other people at their chosen profession. Hell, I’m an idiot at my chosen profession quite often.

        Though I do wish people would stop calling me a “miracle worker” and “wizard” because I can get the wifi working.

      As someone tired of this shit you fit in just fine, I’m only approaching that stage but can clearly feel it.
