Any Expats/(A)TCKs/Global Nomads?

I had left Argentina, where I was born, before I was a year old; came back, left for Dubai. With a heavy heart, I (my family) left 7 years late. A couple of shorter stays in a couple of countries followed and then we 'settled' in the US. Well, I stayed until 06, 'repatriated' (AKA came back to Argentina), left for the US again and have recently returned to Buenos Aires.

Much like we (and forgive me if I generalise) have a better time relating or talking to those with an ASD or something similar, the same goes for being a TCK/expat. It's hard to relate to those who aren't, though I do try.

So I was just wondering if, just maybe, there was another global citizen lurking about?

I am not a TCK or Expat. But I know I am neither Geordie (really) or 'Singaporean', or even a Chinese.

I prefer to think that I am some Asian feeling un-Asian. I am a nomad in my so-called 'homeland' right now.

I understand what you mean. Even within one's birth country there are so many mitigating circumstances that can keep one from ever being of x or y culture. And add in being an Aspie or anywhere on the spectrum and the lack of belonging felt increases. I'm sorry you also have to go through these things =\
