The name of Atkinson creates a very quiet, practical nature and a clever and inventive mind. A misguided thought from someone can cause you to withdraw into your own thoughts for solace and comfort. Being well prepared, though, helps you to express verbally. You have, also, a flair for creative expression with your hands. Reading and research interest you. Because of your reserved nature and self-consciousness, you find it easier to express your thoughts through writing than verbally. Your methodical mind requires consistency of thought for clarity of concept. Scientific, technical, and mathematical subjects appeal to you. One of your greatest salvations is being out in nature, for it is there that you find the peace and serenity you so much desire. You desire so much to be understood, but your name has limited your verbal expression to such an extent that it is very difficult for you to divulge your innermost thoughts even to those closest to you.
