The article leaves me wondering whether cats might be the effect rather than the cause.
Might people inclined toward schizophrenia be more inclined to get a cat? |

I don't have an opinion, but I do have a question.
Do you mean:
\?/\?/1 Might autistic people be more likely to forget things under stress than NT people are?
or:
\?/\?/2 Might autistic people be more likely to forget things under stress than when they are not stressed? |

Last night I watched:
The Mummy's Ghost [1944]
<=>"Nameless! Fleshless! Deathless!"
A harmless waste of an hour. (I'm sort of glad it wasn't longer, though.) |

I "adopted" a turtle that has been frequenting the park behind our house.
I think I've been feeding it too much. It's tummy is getting flabby. |

I generally don't seek conversations from strangers...but I often try for a chuckle.
I find humor to be a good lubricant and have been cultivating a dry sense of humor.
If I can get someone to chuckle they generally seem to be more tolerant and polite to me. |

I can't recall ever being bullied because of my special interests.
My recollection is the bullies just liked picking on me...without regard to what interested me.
(Except, I suspect my interest in being left alone by bullies was an interest they took some joy in violating.) |

My whole life I have been good at getting respiratory infections.
I had pneumonia >6 times before I was 10.
I've been jealous of other cultures where TV showed masks to be routine. After COVID-19 I routinely wear a mask. |

Her fingers have turned black and appear necrotic.
She won't go to a doctor.
Somehow it's my fault, of course. Sorry. |
