I'm a retired grandma, and have a lot of free time on my hands, so I explore things like helping others, trying to touch lives, and trying to lend my understanding of ASD to others who I feel may benefit. I think that I'm empathic, because I really feel the pain of others as if it were my own, and today was very hard for me when… read more
