Partly Robot, the alter ego of Andrew Coltrin, writes and blogs about feeling more than human in a world of mere humans. Partly stumbled upon his Autism diagnosis after he stopped in used bookstores and started working in schools. After burning out on being an English teacher, he's been an undercover angel working in special ed programs of schools in Arizona and Oregon. He also writes odd things and periodically posts on his website PartlyRobot.com.
