    I'm autistic and inclined to go a bit blank in places like supermarkets and railway stations. The lanyard with the autism card was useful as the staff and others would happily offer assistance if I had gone off a bit. However during covid so many people wore them as an alternative to wearing a face mask that the scheme got a bad name.

    I'm now the person cared for. But when I was young, I nursed. When I nursed in the nursing homes I sang. That seemed to help the patients. Some wanted to pray before they ate. I would say grace and pray for them and their day. I was often called on to help with "difficult" patients. I loved helping them❤ Thank you for your help and support for all of us. You've helped me understand myself and why I have some difficulties. I can still do most things, but I have trouble understanding some people and what they want of me. Thank you for making me feel ok about myself...a little vulnarable and overwhelmed some times, and then courageous and strong other times. Thank you Teepa❤

    I use many of Teepa’s tips when showering my 88 yr old mom…what I’ve been doing is turning the water and small heater on and let everything heat up while mom is on the toilet, then ask my mom to check if the water is warm enough. She gets into the shower without a big conversation about why she “should” be getting in. She’s concentrating on the water temp, instead of fighting with me about not taking a shower.

    There's no such things as safe communities. I am Elijah and I have been attempted to be killed by the fake churches, my own family, the police, the employees at a homeless shelter, and you would probably do it too. Are you attending the fake churches that know every time they take more money they kill more people with covid? Then you are also a murderer. Malachi 3:8 is telling the thieving ministers to all return the money to end covid and they know this and they have known it for over 2 years. That means they are lying straight to the faces of every single person inside their congregations. That means for over 2 years every time they took more money they knew more people would die with covid and they are still doing it! That proves to you anyone charging for the gospel in absolutely anyway serves Satan. Anyone still attending the fake churches must repent for supporting evil murderers and never go back if you want out of the Great Tribulation that started September 1st. Until you either repent or die your torment will get worse and worse.
