The time seeing friends in person is precious
This evening I had supper with friends on the autism spectrum, with whom I had participated in activities 8 years ago. It was first time in one or two years I guess.
Why we don't see so often is, I guess, as is often the case with adults on the spectrum, we have very weak ability to meet people spontaneously. Someone playing the supervising role is key for us to meet together. These supervisors are more likely to be the specialist of people on the spectrum, rather than they themselves to be somewhere on the spectrum. Today, one of the supervisors, staying in Sendai for a while, planned the supper.
Although there are several network tools with which we may be able to communicate to and connect with, not all of us prefer to communicate on the internet as well as I even now hesitate to have a mobile phone.
Therefore the time for us seeing together is even more precious, even though we can only see a few times in a couple of years.
