How's My Driving

Comments? Concerns? Critiques?

If you'd like a space to discuss my character with me, here it is. I'm fine with both 'face-on' comments and anonymous. Anon-commenting is on, screening is on, IP logging is off.

Cindy says: "I'm driving a pumpkin coach. If you didn't want to nearly get hit, you shouldn't have been walking on the sidewalk when I was driving on it."

As for being insensitive to Topher, first of all, I want to apologize for making you uncomfortable. Karla's comment was meant to convey that she has no experience at all with the autism spectrum. She doesn't understand that it's a real issue; in her mind, Topher is being insensitive because he can be, not because he doesn't understand how social interaction works.

I'm not trying to derail the conversation here or sound like I'm making an accusation, but could you please explain how you know what the first anon's point was? All comments on my HMD are screened and then immediately rescreened upon replying.
