| I am glad all of you are not in denial anymore mournerx - Your mother probably grew up in the era I did. There was a large stigma against seeing a "shrink" back then. It was thought the only legitimate reason to see one is if you were really crazy, otherwise you were rich with too much tim... |

| If that were the problem then it should not be shutting down not at midnight everywhere, but when it is midnight at the location of the servers. It is just another bug they are are unwilling or unable to fix. It almost seems that they have given up in frustration. |

My first and second anniversaries occurred under such radically different circumstances in my life that I can not have a definitive view on the day ... |

| Most are not asking for people to bow down to us. What is wanted is the give and take expected in human interactions, not the way it is IRL now mostly it is only autistics expected to give which hurts our ability to be functional members of society which hurts society at large and us in particular. |
