1. Respect their need for privacy and to spend time on their own.

2. Be careful never to embarrass them in public.

3. When they are in a new situation, allow them to stand back, and watch what’s going on.

4. Allow them time to process what you’re asking or saying. Don’t demand an answer right away.

5. Be patient if they hesitate to find the right words – and never interrupt while they are speaking.

6. If you are going to change or cancel plans, give them plenty of prior notice.

7. Allow them to practice and perfect skills alone.

8. Correct or challenge them privately – never in front of an audience.

9. Don’t force them to hang out with a crowd of people, or expect them to amass a lot of friends. A few good friends is more comfortable for them.

10. Don’t try to turn them into an extrovert. Respect them for being exactly who they are.

PLEASE.

I found this art piece to be so beautiful. This is the Artignale in Venice.  “The Key in Hand” by Japanese artist chiharu shiota comprises more than 50,000 keys hanging from a cloud of tightly interwoven string. 

The installation seeks to explore the notion of memory, using tens of thousands of keys collected from people across the globe in its realization. ‘Keys are familiar and very valuable things that protect important people and spaces in our lives. they also inspire us to open the door to unknown worlds’ Shiota explains.

HYENA FRIDAY

Liz Bonnin and male Spotted Hyena in South African wildlife refuge. Look closely, Liz is the one in the cage. The hyena is captive but not tamed or a pet, and much like wolves, they’re not ill-tempered or especially aggressive toward humans, although opportunistic attacks do occur. In this situation, Liz is in little danger.

Spotted Hyenas aren’t canines, but members of the Carnivora sub-order Feliforma. They are not closely related to cats, but are considered “cat-like” carnivores.

Sadly, these remarkable animals have been reviled by popular media, and most people hold negative and inaccurate views of them. They are apex predators, and in the top-ranks of intelligence of all animals, rivalling primates in some tests. This is also parallels wolves, who were once vilified as mean, ugly, stupid and useless.
