Needing prayers.

It can. That's why getting a sense of who you dialogue with is important.

It's not for everyone. But neither is constant affirmation, encouragement, and nurturing. (You didn't make that claim, I added that for comparison context).
 
Interesting website. Oh look, another bunny to chase!

As an Aspie, I get sarcasm (use it, too.) What I struggle with always, though, is meanness, which is pretty common for those on ASD spectrum. So when someone who is usually funny or pleasant or whatever sounds seems to turn cruel, I don't get it at all. Worsened a miliion times online, of course, due to absence of voice and facial cues.

Edit to add: this (meanness and cruelty) is not referring to recent events here in the Zone. It's a constant thing. Which is why I simply don't follow the news directly. It's like being flayed alive these days.

Especially when, as in my case, you're pretty much unable to make eye contact with anyone until you're forty! 😄

(and even then, it's incredibly stressful and difficult)
it is still a chore
Dad couldn't understand why I didnt wear a watch or hated to pose for a photograph or had I had to come home from Boy Scout camp

wife's in an ambulance on her way from the skilled care facility to the hospital as I type this
during therapy this morning, she was doing well
all of a sudden - WHAMO - she can't see anything and her pupils are unresponsive to light
😢

You guys pray for my buddy that lives here, the Kentucky fan. He's in ICU with blood clots in his lungs, and legs. I reckon it's from hormones he was taking. He's having a hard time, they transferred him from our hospital to Gainesville.

Any updates on your wife @GordonC?
thanks for asking
the hospital at JCMC (had them take her back there bc that's where she had her surgery) ran a lot of tests on her to see why the temporary blindness happened
they haven't found any reason for it yet, and she's seeing fine today

Glad she’s good to go, but I hope they get to the root cause
