Reading the religious texts without rising your state of consciousness...

Is almost as good as able to decode the words, it's definitions and semantics.
Yet no real reading comprehension and understands no underlying context -- just meaningless readable words.
Just an arrangement of letters associated with the mind and it's conditioning, physically processed by the brain -- and no more than that. :lol:

And this is nothing to do with belief or disbelief.
Incomprehension is still a lack of comprehension.
No matter how much a person is conditioned to associate similar terms into an intended context, no matter how well read a person is and even know how or why the words came to be with plenty of speculations in mind.

Don’t cross oceans for people who won’t cross a puddle for you
Sometimes I think about this a lot. So here’s a sign if you were looking for one.
Stop always initiating that conversation.
Stop being available for the other person 24x7 when they aren’t available for you when you need.
Stop making excuses to yourself.
See the red flags, you know which those are.
Respect yourself enough to know the way you deserve to be treated.

I'm going to the Red Velvet cafe with Barb around 9. I'd better make a cup of instant coffee. I'm more sociable when I drink coffee.

That's good. I'm happy to hear that.

I hope in the next few days my trousers stop hurting me.

I bought joggers knowing they would be comfy.

They're not comfy anymore cos granddad shrunk them.

I was prepared to do my own washing but mum wasn't having it. She made me make him do it.

I hate my stomach so much. I wish just once in a while it would stop aching all the time.

I’m sorry you’re feeling this way, BlazingStar.

You deserve much better.

Thank you, Kortie. I’m working on a solution.

The synopsis of my female-centered Western script, which will be my next story.

I do intend on writing the outline before writing the actual script.

I've had some pretty busy days this month. I've been keeping myself busy.

I need to buy new bath towels online. I'm picky about texture and absorbency, which makes it really hard to shop. Has anyone else noticed that some towels aren't absorbent at all?

I don't want to have to return them, either.

At least 5 months to bide my time before I can look for a job. A different age group is getting the Covid shot from the oldest to the youngest.

I can not get a job because I have Aspergers.
Education did not help me escape long term unemployment.
I state in my resume that I have Aspergers.
That saves me the humiliation of being rejected in face to face interviews.
My problem is being too honest about having Aspergers.

This particular question...
But I'm not very confident of asking it because damnit, word.

I dunno how to compress this nor said the right words for it.

Show Spoiler

Responsibility for another wrote:

I'd ask everyone in this forum:

Do any of you guys have the relevant experience in directly handling other cases?
I mean other cases, I mean NDs of varying levels.

Yes, I said handling.
Not just social interactions -- but more to do with accomodating and being responsible for one.

... Though, it doesn't have to be specifically about autistics.
It can be any other cases of disabilities and ND conditions of varying functioning levels.

And not just mere encounters, not just stories in the media.

If yes...
*4; this means you're the kind who provides an ND's daily living needs.
With having the most direct kind of obligation as a guardian, providing with the most direct care.

*3; this means you're likely a professional, who also very likely had to interact with a respective ND's guardian or caretaker.
While you either have years of education and experience, while interacting with other cases knowing the impact of the condition.

*2; likely you may or may not know much about NDs, yet you get to see the impact of the condition everyday. May not be the guardian or the main caretaker, but still have some responsibility over the case.

*1; likely you may or may not be a professional or even a family. Likely a social organizer of sorts.
But for some reason, you get to interact with and have a degree of responsibility towards the NDs under your watch at least in short term.
At this stage, you get to have a taste of what feels like to directly handle a case.

If not...
*1; you're a relative or an acquaintance. May or may not know much about NDs.
But it is likely that you don't live with the NDs in the same roof nor get to see how it affects daily living.
Nor had little to no long term responsibility except maybe patience or tolerance in every meeting.

*2; you know at least one ND. But you don't have to do anything at this case that resembles any caretaking or assisting.
At best, you accommodate or be courteous, more of an equal than a patient. But no more than that.

*3; you only seen at least one ND. And that's mostly it. :shrug:

You may or may not know about this person's name, may or may not hear about this person's case and what he or she can or cannot do.
But you don't really interact much nor extensively or even at all.

*4; you actually never met any ND. If you're one, then you never met any other. At best, you heard stories in the media or read/watch stuff online.
But not once truly known what it was like to be physically present with other cases.

Other; you're a caretaker of another. Likely at least a parent of one.
Likely been a caretaker of a patient of some condition, which may or may not be an ND by any means. And if it is, the ND status under your care isn't highly relevant.
Likely a professional of another domain or a professional who yet to had any experience.
You may or may not know much about handling another ND.

Also explain your choices. :lol:

My choice;
Yes*1
From time to time, I get to assist my SPED teacher with her students.
And a very few happened to be my somewhat-batchmates, whom I've known for at least 10+ years now.

Some autistics, some are not. None of them are aspies. :twisted:

Not even close.

I've been in few incidents, encountered issues myself, and known some difficulty.
Obviously, this is nothing compared to those who had to cater their needs, let alone those who live under the roof with them. :lol:

Yeah.
I've been wondering... :lol:
