[violaine]

what do you think about her survival skills, which ultimately saved her life in the [not so tame] environment for five days? i've tried to explain to people that living with heightened sensory issues are for me, perhaps how an animal perceives his/her world- noticing so much visually: tiny pieces of paper, glass, insects, movement, and that is only one of the senses. i have spent enough time around different kinds of animals to notice what they notice, and recognise a similarity or being connected, to the external environment in a likewise manner.

less wired than NT's for [the stuff i do not 'get'], including the need for heavy socialisation, group think, and fitting in with the 'crowd'.

i remember when lake jesup was spelled lake jessup. the girl was lucky to have not been eaten by alligators! i grew up in the area. thank you for sharing the story, Dapperbutch- how are you feeling?

happy for the girl and her family love florida, do not miss the alligators and giant mosquitoes!
