I would like to start from scratch in the forum
Little contact from JimmyM although have in the past made commentary on his posts, He is quite interesting most often when he posts .
§
Application of Aloe Vera use, after the wound has scabbed over for about 1 week . It will help keep the scab supple
and induce more healing agents to the site . In my experience.
§
earlier was not implying that people in the USA are not honest. Sorry. It really depends on the person and age group and their environmental influences . Have lost my purse before in a store . And I found it had been turned into customer service area of that store. My friend found a damaged screen but operational , Android phone . And took the time to go through the devise section on the phone . And there at the bottom ,was the phone number registered to that phone.
So she called that phone number ,And the owner thanked her when they came to pick it up.
§
Please take your time healing .... banging your bead into ground at any velocity. Might incurr some extra time to recover
even under , No stress environments ,( such as Day to day life) . much less engaging people whom you maynot know?
In Writing or in person .
Heal Well

Loves velcro,
Jimmy M.: He's brilliant in some ways, and possesses ironclad logic in others.
Besides being a good person.
I consider him an important friend.
§
Yes: the pure aloe vera is exceptional.
I'll have to wait a while, because some wounds are still healing.
(Sorry, I don't know how to describe that word in English.)
§
I'm sure there are honest people in the US!
I meant that these are truly rare behavioral habits here, and not just that.
Flaws exist.
But it's really strange: there's a special conscience in helping people.
§
A while ago, I had some car problems.
I stopped in a nearby, sparsely populated place.
On a man's land.
That might be annoying.
But no.
Some very polite girls approached me.
One of them realized it wasn't a small thing.
I think Grandpa will arrive shortly.
He seemed like a tough guy.
I apologize to him and explain.
His expression changes, wanting to see the problem.
I open the hood, and he tells me I need to fill the radiator right away.
He goes to get me the right coolant twice.
He gives me some more!
I thank him.
Without him, I would have blown the engine.
§
A girl falls off her bike (so I'm keeping up the theme!).
She doesn't get hurt.
But she drops all her groceries.
Some guys come back and immediately ask her how she's doing, and if they can help her.
§
Still on my bike, I was on the bike path months ago.
Some guys get into position, occupying the lane.
§
Yes...it takes time to recover.
But I have to hurry because I might not have that much time.
Then I'll post a video.
sporty
§
I wait for a few seconds.
You know, Jakki, they notice, and besides moving immediately, they apologize four times.
§
In the emergency room, the people who were there were sick or very sick: no one complained.
Everyone waited their turn.
As I did.
Feeling sick.
§
A region like it's out of time.
§
Taking time with people: it stresses me out.
Except the ones I choose.
I exclude the others because then I pay the price in interactional stress.
§
Writing is fine: as calmly as possible.
§
“Come back!” “the caterpillar” called her, “I have something important to tell you!”
It looked promising: Alice turned and went back.
“Keep calm,” said “the caterpillar”.
(Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland)
§
This is how it was translated into Italian ![]()
“Torna indietro!” "il bruco" la richiamò, “ho qualcosa di importante da dirti!”.
Sembrava promettente: Alice si voltò e tornò indietro.
“Mantieni la calma,” disse "il bruco".
Lewis Carroll
§
You know, jakki.
The wonder of things lies in the eyes of the person who looks, or the person who feels.
§
You're always so kind, Jakki.
You're a special person.
§
Not far from here, there's a town called San Benedetto Po (that's the name of the Po River).
§
An elderly gentleman once acted as our guide.
He'd recently been released from the hospital after intestinal surgery.
I don't know how he did it, but he was agile.
He was 88 years old.
I don't know how he is now; I'd have to go back to find out.
He was a former engineer.
He explained everything to us, statistics, and history.
He told us that Napoleon Bonaparte suppressed the Benedictine monastery of San Benedetto Po in 1797, an event that marked the end of the important Polirone Abbey, founded by Tedaldo di Canossa in 1007 and closely linked to the history of the village of San Benedetto Po. This suppression is a significant chapter in the history of the town, which today is also known for its monastery complex and basilica.
§
He memorized every date.
Out of personal curiosity, he asked us how old we were.
I said 89.
He looked at me.
He replied: I'm only 88!
And he laughed!
I apologized.
I asked him a question because he has a degree in physics.
His response was quick and corresponded to the correct answer.
§
In photographs from the early 20th century, I saw images of the people of that time.
A very tall and very strong boy.
He was moving some very heavy stones.
The image is very beautiful.
A while back, as a moderator, I was choosing photos from an internet group to curate the site.
I also had to avoid any that were technically flawed.
It wasn't nice to exclude them.
That photo and others are special.
I saw a class of kids, about 10 or 12 years old.
They were wearing shorts.
They had exceptional physiques compared to now.
And they were normal people, not athletes.
§
Always referring back to part of our previous discussion ![]()
Sofia Goggia won a World Cup ski race with a fractured hand that required surgery, specifically the downhill race in St. Moritz in December 2022. The athlete competed with a hand brace, managing to win just 24 hours after metacarpal surgery.
They took her by helicopter to the hospital.
She was prescribed painkillers.
She returned to racing 24 hours later.
With a pole that didn't rest on the snow, but served as a balance aid.
With tape.
She win!

Dear Huckleberry, seems you have a lovely memory . And very wide references ...also a bit of knowledge of
American literature .
§
Am very glad your experience around your car, did not damage the motor. And resulted in a pleasant interaction
with a stranger
§
Emergency rooms almost sound rather stoic, when you had to be there .

Hi Jakki! ![]()
§
So: I think I've lost a lot of my abilities.
Memory included.
Because hanging out with purely neurotypicals is stressful.
And then my medication burns away both retrograde and anteretrograde memory.
It was much better even just 8 years ago.
§
You pay a price.
§
I'll write something that may seem unpopular, but in essence isn't.
§
People with Asperger's syndrome don't belong to HFA category 1, 2, 3.
The DSM-5
will soon be revised in this regard.
Also because the studies after 2017 indicate substantial differences, even if this nosography seems to "work" so well.
§
Now the diagnoses have increased because doctors are making more of them!
A person with Asperger's was estimated to account for around 0.7% of the world.
Now let's say the diagnoses have tripled.
2.1%.
Every person with Asperger's has a particular memory.
Which isn't just logical and mathematical, but also has other forms that can't be assessed by tests.
One part of intelligence is precisely memory.
The paradox is that even low-functioning people sometimes have exceptional memories.
Savantisms and other peculiarities.
Some have truly low IQs (in theory).
I think that like the two extremes of Daulism 1 and 2, north and south, and so on, there are unconventional memories.
As well as forms of intelligence (not currently assessable by any test)
That go beyond the schemas previously considered absolute and valid.
They are not absolute.
They are not valid; in my opinion, they are not.
§
Look, Jakki, I'm simplifying here. I might not do it with you, given the level you've shown me to reach (at least two levels higher than what you express here), but either in the next DSM or the one after that, things will be understood that are significantly different from what has been taken for granted until now.
Research over the last 8 years already demonstrates this.
§
The drug has erased my memories for entire days in recent years.
Just as it's giving me problems with rapid learning.
That is: it affects two different types of memory.
§
I think you might have Asperger's too.
Asperger's, that's all. I mean.
§
Negative aspects included, because that's what I've been working on since I was 4 years old.
§
A contact of mine, a scientific researcher, and I've written extensively privately about artificial intelligence since 2011.
§
Now everyone at least knows what the term means and what awaits us.
§
American literature, yes.
I'm not very knowledgeable on the subject, but it's virtually unlikely that
someone doesn't know her.
I think everyone knows at least a little about American culture.
In Italy, besides our own, French, British, South American, and North American are among the favorites.
The European and Japanese ones, too.
I know less about Chinese (it's gigantic), and the same about Indian, as well as Arab (which many disdain, passing them off as different people).
§
Oh!
I saw that car in July and bought another one.
For now, with a non-French boyfriend.
Because they will be, and it won't be pleasant for those who own them, and our idea of Stellantis (Italy, the US, and France) will become France, which creates engines... um, I can't write it.
§
Interaction with a stranger.
Yes.
But he offered to help us.
And we thanked him profusely.
In words.
He helped us with actions: that's not the way to reciprocate!
§
Emergency room: it always works well here.
Then everyone is so calm, you never hear anyone raise their voices.
I've been there many times, so I know it.
For other people.
Exactly the same thing.
Some of them had been working all day since the beginning of their shift, and I didn't see them stop for lunch.
Maybe they didn't even have replacements for the summer, and that's because they're almost all very young.
Except for the head doctors, but they're in their early forties.
There, you have to be very quick to decide what to do.
§
There are some things that could be done, but we need more doctors.
Two lines of intervention:
Complicated cases
Simple cases to be handled quickly.
Some, you can see, are truly trivial.
Others, however, cannot be evaluated.
There was, a Black, Nigerian boy next to me.
He's autistic.
He told me to get a diagnosis and where.
He had a simple problem with his finger.
In fact, they discharged him only after 5 hours.
Because these two lines of evaluation weren't there.
Otherwise, it would have been done in ten minutes.
He also greeted me and asked for my phone number.
My presence there lasted much longer.
They'll see what to do in the future.
This post clashes with the failed attempt to start from scratch here.
Greetings to all the wonderful people I've interacted with, from Jimmi m, Jakki, Glider18, Erephos—the list is very long. I'm sorry, LilyMoon, but it was your link that gave me the error string, so I couldn't reply in the thread.
Thanks to Cornflake for his kindness and honesty throughout these years of my presence and absence.
It's a shame I never met Alex; he must be a fantastic person.
I think this will be my last post here.
Nice place.
Presence will completely give way to absence.
I won't be logging into the forum anymore, so I'm sorry if you post replies I can't respond to.
I think it's best for me to leave, though.
Thanks for so many wonderful interactions.

Thanks Jakki: you're on a higher level than what you post on the forum (usually, eh!)
Especially, three levels higher in conversations.
You're also special because you think of the good of others, which is very rare.
§
Like Glider 18: a wonderful surprise, and I'm sorry I can't write about it anymore.
So, like you.
Who (if you remember) know the way.
§
Best regards to everyone.
(But maybe I'm repeating myself too many times)
Simply: Thank you all ![]()
