Never been directly.
There was a court case involving a crime committed against me as a minor.
I also once did some photos as evidence in a court case. But they rejected them as evidence since I wasn't present to testify that I took them. |

No. Up to the people involved.
Like you need to be responsible and all and while I am becoming Catholic I do not agree with the official teaching that "only sex open to procreation should be practiced". |

I scoffed at the idea, mainly because I didn't have a clear picture of what autism even is and the medical information seemed vague and confusing and I didn't recognize it. Recognized stuff a bit more after reading gathered information written by peo... |

So apparently the tendency to ramble and overexplain stuff in order to avoid misunderstandings.... just creates more misunderstandings.
I'm learning that if possible it's best to keep that stuff to a minimum. And clarify further only if prompted or if it seems necessary. |
