It is a relief knowing I have like 6 years before I get the bad news.
I had zero pain or discomfort after(totally the opposite) and was very conscious of any signs that I might need to go to the hospital. All was well, but I am sure I came very close to having a bad time.
The first and last time I was on a trampoline, I tried to do a backflip and landed on my chest in a full scorpion. My spine whipped and cracked pretty much every join in my spine. It was loud enough for the people standing next to the trampoline to hear.
I felt such unknown levels of comfort and relaxation that I was worried that I had just paralyzed myself, until I realized I could feel my toes.
That was the only time in my life I have experienced such nirvana, from the tension and pressure being released from my back to the euphoria of not being paralyzed. It was a serene tranquility that I imagine only the Buddha knows. I was in a moment of Zen that can otherwise only be achieved through dying of natural causes while meditating.

You can get a lot of people to give you their user login and password with the right email and professional format.
The fact that there are people out there who scam people into giving them thousands of dollars in iTunes cards, gift cards, etc. with a threatening phone call claiming to be the IRS or police should tell you that the appearance of authority is a powerful persuasive tool that can convince a lot of the population to go against logic and reason to do what you want.
I don’t know if you are old enough to remember the Nigerian Prince email scam, but they only had to include spelling or grammar errors to weed out anyone smart enough to be immune to their grift.
50% of people in the US are below the average IQ of 97.4. 14% have an IQ of 70-85 and they work at every company and will fall for scams without much effort.
So yes, people will just give you a password and username if you ask them the right way.

We need wage increases across the board, not importing new workers to fill roles at lower wages because we have plenty of workers that only need higher wages to fill those vacant roles.

Median tech job income is over $100k, twice the national average.
Hiring a citizen costs more, so profit chasing dictates hiring an immigrant that can be paid less than market rate. Hiring an immigrant under an H1-B not only is cheaper in wages, but also gives the company more power over the employee because they can fire that person and then they get deported for not being sponsored.
Hiring an H1-B at a cheaper rate also suppresses wages for citizens.
Unemployment in tech is like 3%, we don’t need H1-B visa for tech jobs. We don’t even need H1-Bs for the industries with the highest unemployment, they need to increase wages to attract the nearly 7 million unemployed in the US, and there are even more people that are underemployed or have given up because wages are too low across the board.

I feel, while it is comforting, that it may hinder a healthy relationship with you and may cause problems in his future relationships and in creating healthy sleep habits.
A child developmental psychologist may be a better person to ask than the internet. You could of course ask an AI for what the general consensus is and go forward as you see fit.
Understand that most people in the west will think it is weird and concerning at his age. In Asia it is common for children to share a parent’s bed through like age 10-12.

I don’t think we should allow H1-Bs for jobs that we have adequate domestic supply for and it should be a pain in the dick to get.

She didn’t communicate her needs well enough.
Honestly, the Bee plates showing up is more her fault than his.
Why would he return the Bee plates? They are perfect for his special needs.
I had some friends do that. I’d ask them for advice on doing heroin, but I ain’t got a ouija board.
