| Switching pronunciations of the word 'data' based-on whether or not one is at their work, or one is outside of work settings is notable.

| As a data-analyst, it's best to pronounce 'data' as 'd ay ta.' More importantly, it's best to understand the distinctions amongst data, information, knowledge, wisdom, and value! P.S. I sometimes (not often) pronounce 'data' as 'd a ta' - more rarely, I pronounce 'data' as 'd a h ta' when communicat... |

| For young people on the spectrum, say in their teens and twenties, practicing social skills is probably helpful. But I suspect most autistics over 40 or so are probably like me - after decades of trying to overcome our difficulties in social situations we're too tired and burnt out to keep up the e... |

| It's mostly trial and error. Putting your 10000 hours in. If you're in high school/college, join clubs. Talk to classmates after class. Talk to people in hallways and at lunch. If you're an adult, find some meetups/social events. Do a job where you work with other people. Why? I don't want social i... |

One thing about reliable pre-owned cars at least a few years-old is that these cars didn't come built with complicated TECH.
I hope to trade-up to a 2018-2020 hybrid Honda Civic from a 2018 gas-powered Civic with less than 35,000 miles. |

The movie would take a meta-narrative theme- that is a postmodern production applying the dynamics of fiction, non-fiction, fiction based-on truth, and vice-versa, sleep dreams, and real-life stories. The movie would feature a few lesser ... |
