My wife sneezes very loudly and my house isn't great at sound insulation. Whenever she sneezes, I text her "bless you." (Even if I'm in the same room, but it's more fun for me when I'm not.)

Perhaps I am an autistic, elderly man.

Being here, the odds are better he is an autistic middle-aged man.

I'm not young - I'm 38 - but I don't believe I'm middle aged yet. Wikipedia notes that there is not an age officially stated to be middle aged, but it's commonly said to start at 45.

Middle aged is at about E+37 years old.

Since we are building the torture nexus.

I am careening towards the elderly part faster than I would like. But maybe we got along so well because of some autistic synergy.
