By JigmeDatse | Published: 2018 April 18

Still having difficulty finding pictures for several of our topics For “yesterday’s post” (which is showing up the same day as this one because I’m still behind, and still working on getting back on track, so no need to schedule) I wrote a bit about language (I think I need to revisit it) but related […]

Lack of activity

By JigmeDatse | Published: 2017 June 1

For the last little while there has been a lack of activity, well, mostly a lack of visible activity.  Well, not entirely just a lack of visible activity, as even stuff going on in the background hasn’t been going on. So here I am trying to put a few of those pieces together. Social issues […]

Connection – Importance of

By JigmeDatse | Published: 2016 December 13

Some months ago, I was planning a meeting which I was going to talk about the importance of connection.  Many months ago actually, I think that may have been over a year ago, or at least close to a year ago. Today I met online with the organizer of the Capability Club which is in […]

Genuinity and “Famous People”

By JigmeDatse | Published: 2016 November 30

The Myth of Lack of Empathy in Autism

By JigmeDatse | Published: 2016 November 24

Body Language and Donald Trump

By JigmeDatse | Published: 2016 November 24

A tentative title of “Body Language, Donald Trump, and Empathy” is used for this post.  The reason being these topics have been recently linked, but I think that maybe only by myself.  I will explain a few ideas about how I am linking these ideas together first, and then start to work towards each of […]

Understanding social skills training

By JigmeDatse | Published: 2016 October 31

I really am not sure where I am intending to go here.  A lot of this is more or less a bit about what my experience with social skills training has been. First off, I want to say that I do not recall any official social skills training that I received.  So, I honestly believe in a […]
