Quarantine Questions...You spend your whole life when you have Aspergers trying to get this connection thing right, it takes you maybe fifty years but you really feel you are getting the hang of it. You feel connected to your book group, your neighbors, some new friends here, and all of a sudden we're unconnected. So you try and be the one that calls, your good at calling, but as the time gets longer, it feels like a rope fraying. It gets easy to get complacent because that has helped you navigate these tricky waters in the past. You value old friends, where words unspoken are all that is needed. Where laughs come easy because your don't have to worry about saying the wrong thing.
Funny though, those new threads keep beckoning...and you don't want to forget how to knit them together.
