KAMAD Throwback Thursdays 1975 "The Hindenburg"

Throwback Thursday #TBT Throwback Thursday on the KAMAD site will be a regular occurrence in the next year. As a motivational project, to make sure I am working on something, even in a week where I don’t see a new film in a theater, I am going to post on movies from 1975. Along with 1984, this is one of my favorite years for movies and it is full of bittersweet memories as well. 1975 was my…

TL;DR, Era goes on a disjointed rant about their childhood, can't remember whether they read The Hindenburg or Who Destroyed the Hindenburg? as a child, and is generally struggling with life.

A post yesterday made me think a bit about my childhood and I discovered that an early core memory has been corrupted. (I cannot be sure of a book I read that was very important to me, because two very similar books exist which both partially match what remains of the memory) The discrepancy was discovered when I tried to look up an image of the book's cover, only to get no results that matched my memory under the title I expected.

As I started jumping back and forth between paragraphs, my writing was getting further from the original thread's topic by the second, so I cut the wall of text response I'd written and rb'd the post without comment. But it was still in my clipboard, and I have the urge the share, or preserve, or generally talk about this. Myself.

This just reminded me of one of my formative childhood memories. Allowing children access to reading materials is so important. Having access to reading materials that fit my actual ability and interests, instead of what others considered appropriate for my age, was such a big deal. For good or ill, my mother never restricted the reading materials I had access to. But other adults alternated between calling me "gifted" and calling me out for not staying in step with my peers.

I was in the 3rd grade (about 1997) when I read a hardcover book I remember as "The Hindenburg". Checked out from the "high school" section at my public school's library, which was primarily nonfiction and reference books, with no more resistance from the school librarian than an "Are you sure?". It's been over 20 years and my memory is far from infallible. I cannot at this time verify WHAT BOOK I read. Research suggests it was either The Hindenburg by Michael M. Mooney, which has the title I remember but I can't find a cover that matched my memory, or Who Destroyed the Hindenburg? by A. A. Hoehling, the 1962 first edition of which had a cover in greyscale with orange text, which matches my memory of the colours but not the title or layout. Neither book is available in a digital format, or I'd probably read them both tonight to find out which one I it was.

What I do remember is a scene where a character walks on a catwalk or other part of the airship's frame (vague), that the destruction of the ship was presented as an act of sabotage (reviews say that both authors present the tragedy as the act of Erich Spehl), and that there were untranslated German words formatted in italics from which 3rd grade monolingual me was able to draw the conclusion that the unfamiliar words presented differently from the rest of the English text about a German airship must be German. Again, without access to either book, I can't be sure which it was.

At that point, I was getting distressed and needed to step away, didn't want it to be part of the discussion that spawned it, but also I'd spent time on it and couldn't discard it.

Extra context or something, idk my brain is getting mad: I am (almost definitely) autistic. More specifically, "I honestly do think there is an ASD component to what you are reporting." but also "you are not a label or a disorder" and some other waffly-looking language about why he didn't want to give me a diagnosis.

I was a precocious reader. Possibly hyperlexic, but barely spoke at all until after I started school and nobody bothered to look into that. "Shy". "Extremely Cautious". Prone to meltdowns. Difficulty recognising appropriate conduct. Learned "8 Eastern, 5 Pacific" when I was 5 to know when my program (The Moxy Show on Cartoon Network) would be on, and I still use it to remember the time difference. Didn't learn how to brush my own hair until I was 12. Toe walking until bursitis made it too painful in my 30s. "Galloping" gait. "Clumsy". Lots of GI issues as a kid resulting in missed school, then as an adult missing work. Chafing at rigidly imposed schedules but needing regularity. Struggling with open-ended tasks and questions, hating being given a task without being given clear instructions/expectations.

Rocking, tapping, keening, humming, sucking on my teeth, skin picking, self-harm.

Reading so much I got detention for it.

READING SO MUCH I GOT DETENTION FOR IT.

Not being deterred at all by detentions, since it gave me something I wanted (quiet).

"Reading at a high-school level" in elementary school, being decent at maths, either coasting through or absolutely sucking at everything else. Mimicking behaviours of other kids to deal with social situations into my teens (like saying I liked a particular boy when asked because I'd seen that answer was "safe" when girls gave it) until I didn't.

(I got interested in alternative subcultures somehow, maybe it started online? And when I was standing out already for how I dressed and what my interests were, I cared a little less about "fitting in" and only resulted to it when I couldn't come up with an answer. Significant examples include saying I was attracted to men I already knew were considered conventionally attractive AND had some adjacent interest in, like musicians I listened to. Turned out I had no idea what peers even meant when saying someone was attractive because I'm asexual and had never experienced it. )

Not recognising in the moment anything but the most blatant of bullying, well into adulthood.

In school, they tried at least once to advance me up a class (would have made their lives easier to be able to shift a kid from my so big it had to be split in two for our elementary years and produced the largest graduating class of my district's history class into a less-full one) but I refused because I would be separated from the only kids I knew.

((Why was I even consulted? Guess my mom liked letting me make my own decisions about some things, she let me refuse a fucking surgery as a child but I wasn't allowed to get a haircut until I moved out))

Somebody thought I might be talented with languages, but it turns out I'm probably just really good at learning to read them if they use the Latin alphabet, because I can read most Spanish I've ever encountered and a fair bit of German and can't construct a useful sentence in either.

Speech difficulties and disfluencies got WORSE in adulthood, I think.

This has turned into a huge disjointed mess. Maybe I'll stop by the school this week and ask if the library still has it while asking if they still have any records on me for my psychologist.
