| Thanks for sharing your experience. It's neat to see the perspective of someone who has lived through past eras of strife. For me, though. I don't celebrate the day. In various years past I did, but it's been a very long time ago. I'm a lot younger than you, and I had the privilege of being born wit... |

| When studying ancient Greek mythology I took a particular liking to the muse Euterpe, as she is said to have created the aulos and other wind instruments. It may not be super evident (although it is in the obscure meaning of my username), but I'm like a major wind instrument nerd, could even call it... |

| I don't mean that in a "I'm scared of the dentist" kinda way, I mean in the way of struggling with having stuff in their mouths. I'm thinking this is a sensory issue that I have, but I've never had a word for it. I've used all kinds of techniques to make it better, I'm generally okay with ... |

| I guess another issue is that people rarely have one irrational set of beliefs. A lot of people that “speak in tongues” are also into faith healing which causes real demonstrable harm. They may be more susceptible to falling for anti-science conspiracy theories and the like, but I suppose that does... |

But do note that I'm picturing false prophet Hank Kunneman and some other Trump-worshiping Christofascist scam artist (of whose name I forget. Wish I could also forget about Kunneman. D... |

I was raised with King James Bible. My grandpa swore by it.
Nowadays, I know it's not the most accurate translation. But also, I don't believe anymore, so... meh. |

A close friend of who's insight I really trust told me that she didn't see it aside from in my sensory issues with food. This was a bit shocking to me. It was right after I joined this ... |

| Well, I believe everything is a spectrum and it's probably indeed possible to not even have a special interest as an autistic individual, but I don't know because I'm not qualified to say one way or the other. With someone who is AuDHD (which I believe I am most likely), I can imagine you could have... |
