| In my family there are at least two people who are on the spectrum (somewhere) and I wonder about a third and fourth as well. Only one of them sees this in themselves. They are all adults, in their 20s, 40s, 60s, and 80s. Only one of them is functioning well in their daily life. If only they could a... |

| Your daughter is lucky to have a parent like you who cares so much and is listening to her. I understand this is very scary and completely unexpected for most people to see their child going through. How could you ever foresee such a rare and poorly understood situation? We don't learn about gender ... |

| It came close. Instead of disowning me they manipulated into delaying transition by threatening my housing/access to food/transportation and kept saying they didn't want me around once I started to change either. Eventually they came to see that they were endangering my life as I got more and more s... |

| Don't analyze for solutions to problems. If something terrible happened to someone or if something trivial happened that they're acting very upset over, they're probably not telling you about it to get your to fix the problem. They might just want you to listen and empathize. To show you care. To va... |

| Yo. You have potential. I see you're considering how the roof of the house is constructed in three dimensions. You can learn a lot of tricks and tips in an art class, on youtube, in books on drawing, etc. I think you would really enjoy looking at the three types of perspective: one point perspective... |

| My biggest fetish has to do with Mermaids. Ever since I saw The Little Mermaid when I was a kid, I was fixated on just about anything having to do with Mermaids. This is partially why I like Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides more than most. I'm even reading this book series called The Wat... |

| Some people see the wisdom in not tilting at windmills when they have limited tilting resources. :) It's highly likely that not one single person will be swayed by logic or emotional appeal to change their political opinion. Many people do not think that poor people should be listened to or consider... |

Not to worry, there's nothing wrong with feeling sympathy for Hitler back when he was a physically and psychologically abused child. Unfortunately, the hell that boy went through made him the monster he was in l... |

I'll be like so what are your obsessions tell me about your compulsions, and how are you treating your disorder. Hopefully it makes people think twice before ca... |
