Those are beautiful stories of a mother's love. I remember finding my birth footprint when I cleaned out my mother's home and a plastic toy skunk, that I loved when I was little when I cleaned out my father's stuff. Take it one day at a time, you can do it. We are stronger than we know. My aunt like... |

Hello Onskarf, Those are good questions and your responses show a strong understanding of NT social/emotional norms. Are you concerned about aging as an Aspie? Am I better at reading people? Yes, that is because I have worked on it. Making progress has always left me scared and confused. But, I keep... |

I would need this. Though, if only there's an informal Tagalog version of that. Mine is less about empathy and more about command of language itself. If I have more mastery over language, I'd able to "empathize" just as having faster sensory processing speed would make me more "artic... |

ChatGPT has no sense of humor tell a funny story about dropping an egg One time, I was making breakfast and decided to make a fried egg. I cracked the egg into the pan and it started to sizzle. I was so excited to eat my delicious fried egg that I forgot to put a plate next to the stove. As I was fl... |

I don't think I'd like it if it wrote my replies for me. I'd feel better about something that just told me what the author might be feeling, with a breakdown of what they'd written that had indicated those feelings. That way I might be able to compare the computer's ideas with my own, and learn to ... |

I started using ChatGPT to react to the emails that I plan to send. The command starts with how would <person> react to this letter and then the letter follows. I need to figure out better language for the command. Reading the letter from another person's perspective is difficult for me and I often ... |

There have been numerous times when I had to take on way too much. I become dead inside and deal with the situations as best I can. The problem is those memories haunt me, trigger me, and fill me with grief. I have seen NT's go off the rails, become violent, unbalanced, ... The jails, the streets, a... |

I started getting panic attacks after I recovered from COVID/BA1. It is like an anxiety attack on steroids and it really messes up my head. The attacks are less frequent now, more like severe anxiety. But, I get triggered easily and have tried very hard to keep the toxic people far away. |

I kind of see a flaw with the study. Looking intently at an image, still or video, is very different than reading a person in a social setting. There is sensory overload, anxiety, and fear that must be dealt with. Not to mention making conversation and figuring out what the person is saying. To me, ... |

The other day, I found a Save America ad on a website that was reviewing sex toys. In the middle of all these strange pleasure devices was a picture of you know who. Just for context, I was using a VPN and Incognito mode. I do not know if I should laugh or cry. Is this stupidity or very cynical prod... |

True story, theory of mind in practice. On my afternoon walk, I took a final lap around my local park. A young lady stepped out o the shade and asked "Do you love animals?" I stopped and asked her to explain. She was from some animal society and I asked for the pamphlet. She had none but w... |
