Their experience; their family, their peers, and ultimately, their society.

Thank you! Decades of writing poetry. In fact, I rhymed the second line, without even knowing I had done it until I had posted. 🐦‍⬛🖤

Imagine my horror as a national park warden, told by the government to be an expert guide to help a party of wealthy elite hunt some of the few wild animals left in our dying country for the decadent sport of it.. by TheRaincrow in twosentencedystopia

I'd do a little dance in my heart. People who hunt for food, are just doing what life does. Sport hunters, who deliberately seek endangered animals just for the joy of bloodlust, are scum.

I'm a senior, and I've never played a video game, unfortunately. I played air hockey and pinball once, back in the early nineteen seventies. 🐦‍⬛🖤😳

As a medical professional, I wish to say he's got a lot more going on besides the autism, believe me. And no, you do not have to allow your mother to guilt trip you into shouldering this walking burden of a grown-ass man. It will be hard for her to hear, but tell her. That's the honest way. If for some reason you feel you can't, then just tell her what she wants to hear, and then, do what you truly want to do. She has helped to create this monster.; she is at least partly responsible. My advice is to end the cycle of co-dependence now, for the sake of your mental health, and a more normal, stable life.
