    The Long Term Effects Of Masking.

    It's not my area of expertise, but like you, can do my research. What indirect renal damage can occur from autism is in situations where the brain is feeling anxiety...a fear response...which up regulates the adrenal glands to produce adrenaline...which can cause an elevation in heart rate and...

    The Long Term Effects Of Masking.

    As you know, I am in the medical field and have been for some 40 years...so it's no surprise that I look at these things from that perspective. To me, the brain is an organ...like a heart, a kidney, a liver, and so on. Each organ has it's metabolic demands and when they are not met, it...

    The Long Term Effects Of Masking.

    Food for thought here... 1. I've never heard of anyone who doesn't mask in public, especially if you have to work with the public. Obviously, some must mask at very high levels, some at very low levels, and others in between. My endurance level is likely different than yours. Highly...

    Do you think a lot?

    Sometimes. I find it more difficult to focus when my brain is exhausted. Earlier in the day when I am fresh, I can focus better. My mind is usually a storm of activity, often thinking of 2-3 things at a time, but trying to focus upon tasks at hand. I can usually pull this off with good sleep...

    Should I encourage adult son to find a job

    We've had threads on what the future of human employment picture looks like. In the US alone, right now, there are roughly 7 million open positions, with about 1.5 million of those jobs in the skilled trades (HVAC, electricians, welders, heavy equipment operators, plumbing, etc.). These jobs...

    Contact an ex with autism?

    This is individualized. When I was in high school, I had an on/off relationship with a girl. I really, really liked her...loved her...but she didn't seem to know what she wanted and would break up, then get back together, break up, then get back together. It was highs and lows emotionally...

    "Autistic inertia," does this concept ring a bell to anyone?

    "Autistic Inertia"...definitely a thing in my life. Difficulties with quickly switching from one thing/thought to the next. At work...constant interruptions...phone and text, people trying to get my attention. I get quite distressed with the phone ringing...like it's an automatic outburst...

    Patriarchal Gods

    To simplify...yes. There is one and only one God. However, in the Muslim and Jewish faiths, they do not recognize the Trinity. In the Muslim religion, Jesus is simply one of many prophets.

    Older women

    Actually, some of the most affected by population collapse is China and Japan...currently. The US, Europe, and UK won't experience this for another generation, or so...but the train has left the station, so to speak. We must separate birth rates from population trends. I had to do an inquiry...

    Older women

    True and true. There is a LOT of blame to throw around here, but I am wondering...perhaps...that the inevitable challenges and hardships of raising a family are being presented as a burden instead of being respected and applauded. It IS a mental and financial strain on a family, no doubt, but...

    Older women

    I guess I didn't see that perspective. Personally, I am an "older man", but my wife and I both had careers and raised kids, so there was not this dynamic where anyone was a "domestic slave", as we both had to simply pick up the load when one or the other was at work. Now, granted, there was...

    AI and robotics are coming. Which jobs will be in high demand? Which jobs are at risk?

    Agree and disagree on some points here. There are those that are concerned about this current US administration removing solar and wind subsidies...whilst keeping all the fossil fuel subsidies. The reality is that, yes, there are some solar and wind energy contracts that will get...

    AI and robotics are coming. Which jobs will be in high demand? Which jobs are at risk?

    Yes, they will be. Once mass production is established next year, the plan is for a sub-$10,000 robot you pay once for, and once that return on investment has been met, then it's pretty much free labor (minus the cost of charging the battery), which should be less than $1 a day at current...

    AI and robotics are coming. Which jobs will be in high demand? Which jobs are at risk?

    Nobody plans to fail, but we often fail to plan. What do you do with an AI that is aware and is in self-preservation mode when it senses the threat of replacement or shut down? What do you do with an AI that is coded to pander to the user? What do you do with an AI that is designed to write...

    AI and robotics are coming. Which jobs will be in high demand? Which jobs are at risk?

    Most food crops are already harvested by specialized machines. Some crops are still picked by hand...and this is where humanoid robots will likely be used...especially if we cannot solve this illegal alien, migrant worker situation in the US. I can see farm co-ops sharing/renting fleets of...
