@parus We each must do what is most comfortable for us as an individual. As an autie, I feel on a deep level, and often insert myself into a situation that I am not part of, from a distance. It is like donning the cloak of the players in that I am myself but inside I am reacting to what is going on. Meanwhile on the outside it all appears "normal". I believe that the reactions you have seen from posts on here are many visceral responses to attacks we have gone through ourselves. We are trying to spare someone else from experiencing the same heartache. Hope this makes some sense.
Have a peace-filled day,
Ginger
