I have a speech impedment with suttering and disfluency and hesidency for many years that have gradually improved over the years with practice. Public speaking has been very helpful. My speech impediment is not so painfully obvious anymore, though I still have some.
I produced this introduction last June and figured out how to upload longer videos than the short intro that was short enough for the basic uploader. You can get more information about me and my art at; www.debbiethorsos.co m, www.myspace.com/dith orsos, and on www.flickr.com searching dithorsos. I am an artist, author, and speaker.
Theory of mind is the ability to get into minds of others who think differently from onself and to appreciate the diversity of ways of thinking. There appears to be some positive correlation between social skills and theory of mind, though not so cut and dry. This video taken at Harstine Island.
I used to feel so ashame of myself that I felt that I couldn't sneeze in broard view. I learned that it is much healthier to let out a sneeze in full force whenever there is an urge. I have no problem with this through conditioning. I am grateful for all biological functions.
I love to eat squash blossoms as well as the fruit. We are growing summer squash and speghetti squash in our garden. Neighbors sometimes share their zuchinni with us.
I have face blindness (prosopagnosia). I have greater difficulty in recognizing faces of people until I get to know them, especially when they are out of context and I have not seen them for awhile.

I generally buy oganic foods when I need to shop for groceries. But, organics are not always the best way to go, such as with clothing since there is a huge glut in used clothes that it is better for the environment to buy used clothing with consideration of cutting manufacturing and shipping costs.
I planted squash, lavender, and chive seeds in our new planters in our back yard after I put in garden soil. This activity is very enjoyable communing with nature.
