When it is time to replace a pair of shoes I want to order a new pair of the exact same thing.The shoes for my morning walks seem to last approx... |

Sigh. Are they saying you aren't born Autistic? I did not use a lot of digital devices before I was born! Maybe they got it backwards? I was born in 1954...digital devices were not a factor in my youth. Yet I am o n t h e S p e c t r u m . Maybe being Autistic increases the likelihood you'll spend m... |

Catnado . I don't know. That seems like it could be more dangerous than Sharknado . I suspect they did not talk. The voices would have been a mass of doppler effects. Just watched the trailer. Hmm. Okay. Maybe I should see the movie for myself. I cannot recommend the film. You are more likely to be... |

My understanding was we were good at following nonharmful rules we understand.
(Good thing, too! That saved me from a whole lot of trouble when someone tried to trick me into serious trouble!) |

It would be a special interest.
What is the best thing about the U.S. election news? |

All of us here represent those who were in the initial waves of being rounded up and killed in Germany in the late 1930s, which seems to be the playbook going forward. Ouch. I didn't think of that. |

Last night we watched:
Catnado [2022]
My bride added this to our collection. She likes cats and she says she likes this movie.
I also like cats but I think they should've skipped making this film. (Its current IMDb user rating is 1.7.) |

What affect does that high pitch roar have on us? |

A known rapist and convicted felon is going to be President. You didn't mention that in the past he downplayed the significance of a global pandemic thereby increasing the death-count in the U.S., and instigated a violent insurrection attack on the U.S. Capital which disappointed him by not overtur... |

Welcome to WP! I hope you enjoy the company here. And you made it to 52, got married and had kids, without discovering you are Autistic? That probably qualifies as "High-Functioning". I suspect if you get a formal diagnosis you will find it to be more of a conversation piece than anything ... |
