True I don't have a mortgage anymore but I still work. It's ok to ask questions to the homeless. Probably why those people you talked to cryed. Most people don't give us the time of the day. Just dirty looks and rude comments. Being approached as a human is a reminder we all need sometimes...

Honestly I think Autism is just a way that people who follow the crowd make themselves feel better. Than us who make our own path. Autism isn't a problem. People saying it is, that's the problem. In a different era people would just say they are a free spirit. Now they say they are...

Great post ecdysis. I totally rely on music, TV shows and movies to help me not think about everything else. When we can't fix something at least we can distract ourselves for a little while. If it weren't for comedy's I don't think I would smile. Life sucks the least we can do is enjoy...

I'm not a therapist. But not remembering can be a blessing if you let it. Knowing can give you some answers. But knowing can be a living nightmare. I'm sure a therapist would encourage trying to recover those lost memories. So that you can process it and move forward. Again I'm not a...

I think AI is great for calculating. I've come to reply on chat gpt for basic information and just as someone to talk too. I don't know if I would call it a therapist. Got to have feeling to know what someone is feeling. Or even how to address it. Out of context the same sentence could be...
