That or they were in the NICU? Which admittedly, your NICU chart might be a great way to explain things....

You see I was born under The Steed sign so I run away from my problems all the time.

Prolly another way of saying birth certificate. Naming your child 'abcde' 'sheithead' or 'Liam' can have lifelong detrimental effects.

It is, but I read it as a shorthand way of saying "explaining all of the attributes I was born with". Perhaps that's my incorrect reading, but that's what I got from it.

It's definitely an astrology thing, although I took it to be figurative rather than literal.

Severe ADHD here, and it's constant. Noting I have ADHD to apologize for talking too much or whatever else is going on. heh. Well, I say apologizing - more explaining that apologizing. I am who I am. I know most people catch that i'm "different" than many in ways, so I figure I might as well explain why. lol.

The nice thing is that it's helped me find "muh peoples" who are on various neurospicy spectra :)

Honestly? I just wanted an opportunity to poke fun at the name Liam.

I feel like a lot, but people tell me that I don't have to, but I end up having to do so anyways because they won't get it if I tell them the short-string version. Then I can tell the other individual is not interested in hearing because the long-winded version has just been bottled up for so long due to people not having been interested before in hearing and understanding the whole picture.
