| The Bible talks about animals and birds. The Old Testament is full of it. They were people who raised goats and other livestock. It wasn’t until the time in Egypt that they got into metal work and big construction projects. One of the side effects of the time in Egypt. The other is the Israelites di... |

| “Associative Memory” might be like the “hyperlinks” you mentioned.

Road one: work on independence skills, job hunting skills, work-place etiquette, etc. You might hire a coach or (like us) plan weekly status meetings.
