I work as a nurse in a Nursing Home (very vulnerable population to Covid). I wear a mask AND safety glasses when at work. I also wear a good quality, washable, non medical mask when I'm out and about and when shopping and stuff. The advantages: Protect my patient, my colleagues and myself at work (t...

Hi Everyone! I'm interested in purchasing a couple of virtual reality headsets. I enjoy watching movies, documentaries and Youtube. My son (age 15 and has ASD) would likely do the same, plus would be interested in video games and 3D games. I am not particularly computer or technology savvy. I'm a 50...

Any man expressing interest in becoming an interior decorator, poet, or actor will have his sexuality questioned by both men and women. ^ This is a result of toxic masculinity. Yes, it needs to change. Any person has the right to pursue their own interests without discimination and judgment Crying ...

I've been out of the "dating scene" for a while (having been married for almost 15 years). I will say this though: When someone is meeting up for the first "dates" (whether they involve physical intimacy or not), I wouldn't assume anything. Either partner could be seeing others. ...

I loved your list of facts about snakes :). I learned a whole bunch just reading it. I used to be quite frightened of snakes since I was a child. In my late teens, I was working at a local fair where the organization "ARK" (Association of Reptile Keepers) had a display. They had corn snake...

"I feel pretty" is a new movie, starring Amy Schumer.

Yes, I remember the song from West Side Story. I loved that soundtrack. :)

I use a bit of social media, more to stay in touch with family/friends and to share some of my interests with my friends. I don't have a lot of Facebook friends (only about 40 something). They are all known personally to me (I generally don't "friend" people I have never met in person). I ...

i take public transit most of the time (I am not fond of driving and do not own a car). Even if everyone is courteous and careful - we will still inadvertently brush against someone, step on someone, etc. If we weren't expecting the once in a while contact - we would have choices: buy a car and driv...

Hmmm. Autistic people are a diverse bunch. Political affiliations are probably diverse too. I'm non-diagnosed (although I have a fair number of 'traits' and I am a mother of a child diagnosed with PDD-NOS). I"m Canadian (as you probably gather by my username). I am a socialist. My political lea...

My son is diagnosed PDD - NOS. He has sensory issues and will only wear one type of shirt (a long sleeved T-shirt). He has preferred colours, but will only wear about three our four different colours of the same shirt. Although it is repetitive as a fashion statement, it really doesn't do any harm. ...

It's on the way to being completely legalized here in Canada. It is widely used anyway. I'm in Vancouver and there is a "dispensary" on every block almost. A "dispensary" is a store that sells cannabis and cannabis related supplies (e.g. rolling papers, pipes, bongs, vaporizers, ...

"Do you consider someone who has borderline Aspergers or who has “traits” to be on the spectrum?" I note that the original poster is female. I have been reading a lot about females and autism. I am female, and my son (now age 12) was diagnosed PDD-NOS at age 4. While learning about the aut...

I agree that the woman used rude language. If I were her, I would have politely advised that the smoke was bothering her and asked if you would be willing to smoke elsewhere. Having said that, I use cannabis. I have a vaporizer for both concentrates (e.g. shatter) and regular weed. No smell. :) I li...

Hi. I'm kinda lonely. I sometimes vape cannabis or drink when I'm feeling out of sorts. I don't have many friends. I would prefer to be able to engage with others, but have trouble forming connections with people. I work full time, am married (although the marriage has its issues) and a parent to tw...
