| I'll make this simple.... There is a trade-off that countries make between herd immunity and lockdown waiting for a vaccine. The lockdown approach reduces mortality but depends on two assumptions...i) the economy can withstand the time there is a lockdown ii) when a vaccine is produced it actually ... |

| So, I'm an A level student and up until this week all the work I have been doing is answering worksheets and taking notes before sending it to the teacher. I hadn't been in school for almost a week before it actually shut down due to corona due to mental illness and as this persisted, I found mysel... |

| First I'll ask a couple of questions. Do you conduct your social life as an openly autistic man dating women who are themselves neurodiverse or considered "developmentally disabled" in some other way? Or do you present as a fundamentally normal if perhaps somewhat quirky individual who mi... |

| Over my 24 years, I've been forced to develop basic to intermediate social skills to get along with people. I used to call them "social sillies", but they've been useful. Basic dos and don'ts. In the last year or so I've developed the ability to express romantic interest in ways that I fee... |

| My thoughts on this: I relate very strongly to many things that have been said throughout this thread. I too had zero success at any kind of relationship for a very long time. I had a period where I lived on my own and felt intense loneliness with no social support of any kind, and I was afraid to r... |

We are in the middle of a public health and economic disaster of epic proportions. Some things will go off... |

I had this album in high school. The song has since become my reality: When I'm tired and thinkin' cold, I hide in my music, forget the day, and dream of a girl I used to know. I close my eyes, and she slips away.
