    Understanding Elders

    Rest assured, your landlord is not like that because she is "elderly". She is like that because she is like that. Probably has been all her life. I had an aunt that was exactly like you describe and was always in trouble for it. She never changed. I would not expect your landlord to change or...

    What kind of eater are you?

    I checked both vegan and strict dietary restrictions. I became vegan + other restrictions due to three autoimmune diseases. Nearly died before figuring out all of the trigger foods. None of the doctors had a clue. One doctor suggested an elimination diet to find the triggers. Now, on my...

    What are your goals for 2026?

    One of my goals is to finally finish writing a book I put on hold several years ago due to work time conflicts. The book is about type 1 diabetes management.

    I have mentioned this several times on this forum; all of my best friends in all my life were not of the human species. When I say "best friends", that is actually a gross understatement. I am now 73 years old and all of my (non human) friends were real true friends. Don't remember ever having a...

    Is writing or speaking easier for you?

    Writing is definitely easier for me. My brain is too slow for conversation. I can do it, but not very well. My brain operates serially and it is too easy for me to get "derailed". Then it takes me some time before I can get back where I was, if ever. When speaking, I rarely ever am able to say...

    Do you like being autistic?

    I feel sure that without being autistic, my social life would have been much better, but that is about it. The autism has made me financially better as well as fulfilling my life's dream. I'm happy where it has taken me. Hard road to get here, but well worth it. Thus, I have to conclude that...

    Christmas Decorating?

    For the last few years, it has become our Christmas tradition to watch the movie, "A Sunburnt Christmas". A Sunburnt Christmas - Official Trailer | IMDb One of my favorite movies regardless of season or holiday, but it is a Christmas staple.

    Does anyone feel that they are now comfortable with social skills?

    Good question! I am a person that obsessively researches everything. So I have been studying this for a long time, but I'm still not comfortable with social situations at all. I have also been studying neurology. By profession, I am an electronics design engineer and I can see how neurology...

    Thanksgiving turkey survey!

    I voted Hell no. I have multiple autoimmune diseases that are triggered by any animal protein as well as a few other plant based foods. So, I have to stick with what works. Even a single little "taste" is catastrophic. So, cheating is no option. However, that is fine with me. I don't need any...

    Thanksgiving Plans?

    Just can't get any better than that!!! I, and I'm sure many others (especially the homeless!) am deeply grateful to you for that!! I gave you a winner star, but that is insufficient. Should be a few thousand stars.

    Delayed understanding?

    Yep that's me exactly. However, my whole mind is slow, not just auditory. To slow to do any kind of multitasking. I can't even listen and take notes at the same time. If I'm writing anything, then I can't listen or vice versa. That was a major problem in school. I'm unable to listen to music...
