A budget wheel truing stand satisfactorily working, giving me a procpect for wheel building

Last Thursday an wheel truing stand arrived, and this morning I tried on the front wheel of my road bike.
As it is a budget one (Minoura FT-1 Portable Wheel Truing Stand plus a dishing tool FCG-310), at first I wasn't sure if it works.
At first it took time to set up the tool and getting rid of the tire and tube of the wheel, but in a few hours, I found that both the truing stand and the dishing tool work enough if I work with them a bit patiently, and as long as I don't require less than 0.1 mm precision.
For the next weekend, I plan to true the rear wheel, and if I make it with this, I advance the plan to build wheels for this spring.

This made me learn some foreign language. However, I'm learning that overseas isn't so good as I dream about, especially as long as I go to public school. W...

It's my lack of confidence that is to be beaten

Autism, is it something to be removed? Or is it just another type of human being? I can't answer to this question. I, as you see, have language, and have a job. Although my struggles are real as well, I hear that there are a lot of cases of struggles many thousand times than mine. Ones who don't have language, or with serious behavioral problem. Although my behavioral problems, mainly social awkwardness, I can't answer the question whether autism is something that should be beaten. Instead, I can answer one question. I have to beat my lack of confidence through long struggles, if I want to succeed.
