| I don't have "yeast overgrowth"---but I do experience "low energy" and "brain fog" at times, though never to a severe extent. |

AI, as it stands now (represented by AI-type entities that "answer" your questions on the phone or online), is wholly inadequate, and nowhere near an actual person.
I often get frustrated by their "stupidity." |

ASD is a neurological condition. Whether it's actually a "disorder" depends on the person.
Personally, my ASD is somewhat of a disorder, but also somewhat of a mere "difference." |

| It's not that bad. Really, it isn't! Some very famous and respected people (e.g., Jim Henson) believe in "humanizing" dolls and puppets and all that. I used to talk to my Santa Claus doll. Then, I realized that the doll didn't respond to me, and I could never be a ventriloquist like Jim He... |

| I'm not sure about this: But there are times when I feel like I was a "mistake." My mother, usually, was hypercritical with me, and didn't seem "proud" of me (unless she was, and she just wanted to "toughen me up"). My father didn't have much expectations. He might have... |

| Thank you. I have the affliction of absentmindedness, too. I absolutely agree that children, often, are very resilient beings who frequently recover fast from physical and emotional trauma. But, still, I wouldn’t have wanted my failings to force a child to test the above hypothesis. You’ve done well... |

Semantically, a “cancerous person” bears a worse connotation than “a person with cancer.”
I am under the impression that a “autistic person” and “a person with autism”carry the same connotation to most people. |

I am of the opinion that the thread on slavery….shows that the vast majority feel that being an apologist for slavery is ridiculous.
I agree with the locking of the thread, though. |

| There are times when I think I would have been a decent father, despite my misgivings. I would have made mistakes, and I probably would have learned from them. I hope, though, that the mistakes I would have made wouldn’t have hurt the child at all (no, I certainly wouldn’t have physically abused the... |

I probably would have been irresponsible had I been a parent.
I sort of regret not having kids….but I feel it might have been for the best.
I “should” be a grandpa. I’m 62 years old. |
