Interesting thread to resurrect from 2018... 
But no, I don't think people should be imprisoned for anything and that the whole criminal justice system needs to be restructured and rethought.
Certainly not for peeing in a pool, as disgusting and disrespectful as it is. |

| I am so sorry that this is happening to you. I do think that it's an ASD thing to sometimes feel overwhelmed and react badly. Then you feel terrible because you wish you had handled it differently, but in the moment you couldn't, or you would have. I would say go easy on yourself rather than blaming... |

| I definitely feel younger than my age. If I didn't know my age and didn't remember, and I didn't have mirrors or could see my physical self, and I had to guess how old I am, I would probably guess I was 20 years younger. Maybe even younger than that. Other than being calmer and more accepting, and l... |

| I don't think that the pandemic has had a particular effect on me in that area, but I always find it hard to make friends and connect with people. I think all you can do is keep trying. One way to make a connection is to show that you are interested in knowing about the other person. Ask questions (... |

| I want to rest, but feel guilty for not doing more in life besides the chores I am able to take care of. It sounds like this is a part that you can work on. Acknowledge that you need rest and that you don't need to be doing more than you can handle. Your burnout will probably not resolve without re... |

| A subset of progressives or leftists and a subset of people who identify as woke are the same thing. Woke is not an ideology nor is it a particular group of people. It merely refers to an awareness of societal injustices and an awareness of the systemic nature of such injustice. Just about any lefti... |

| ^I believe those viewpoints are motivated by the false belief that criticism of the state of Israel is tantamount to antisemitism. When any defense of the rights of Palestinians is conflated with antisemitism, then antisemitism can be found everywhere. |
