blooiejagwa,
How sweet! Thank you very much. Actually, I'm just kind of frustrated right now. You have been through much tougher things than I could ever imagine. Hugs to you and your sweet boys. |

| I'm at the extreme tail end of the Boomer Generation. If I had been born two months later, I would have been Generation X. The culture, as I see it, has been trending much darker, glorifying suicide, self harm, zombies, vampires and other creepy stuff. Young adult literature focuses almost exclusive... |

My friend's cat passed away. I saw that beautiful cat and I went to bed crying last night.
Italy's death toll tops China's from COVID-19. My tennis instructor is from Italy and I am part Italian.
Don't know how much, if any, of my life I will get back. |

| That old saw, "What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger," is not really accurate. There is an extreme cost involved. Every adverse experience takes something out of you and leaves you weaker. One should hope that overcoming adversity makes you smarter, not stronger, especially if the adve... |

| I am relatively independent now, but I still have a childish side. I know that, at 55, I am still not up to speed with NTs of equal intelligence. My executive function is now good, but it was years in the making to get to this point. I would consider myself about in my early to mid 20's in terms of ... |

| Dressing for gym class was a major source of anxiety for me. Fortunately, I can dress at home in my workout clothes before going to tennis. (That activity is on hold right now.) For the last few years, I changed clothes as many as three or four times a day. That might be a bit much, but it showed me... |

| I am temporarily unemployed (hopefully temporarily) due to the COVID-19 virus, but I was gainfully employed for nearly 18 years at my present place of employment. I am just a part time worker and don't have a really brilliant career, but it gave me some degree of independence. My entire life is on h... |

| My parents didn't tell me because, as BuyerBeware said, Asperger syndrome wasn't a diagnosis until 1994. I read about it in 1997 (I was 32 then) and a lot of the characteristics described me. I don't believe I would have been better off if I had known, rather than just suspected, I was different. I ... |

I knew what I needed to do to come back. I could do all the right things and my life won't come back any faster. I will try an... |

I don't know how much, if anything, I'll get back and for how long I'll be out of commission. I don't feel my life has been completely wasted, however, because I have ... |
