| The most important lesson should be caring about one's own family, with self-reliance a close second. And, a parent can't teach self-reliance without ever spending time with a kid. People shouldn't have kids just to ignore them. If you want a life alone, don't have kids... easy to avoid choosing to ... |

| Yeah, it is the lack of prioritizing hos own family that makes it suck. It's not like he's working 18 hours a day to support family (try, 0) then spending a few cherished minutes with family as soon as he could and prioritizing them. I'm not sure why I still hope that he'll act like a father for the... |

| Parents should spend time with their kids more than a few hours a year. Period. Id you don't want family time, don't have kids. Easy. Amd adults can't force each other to do anything, no, I noticed- adults can't force each other to spend time with each other or give up their dreams or determine each... |

| In my country, we can move out at age 18 and legally get a job. So, I did. I moved out and got a job and paid for school myself, so I didn't let anyone alter what boundaries I felt comfortable setting and I wasn't at anyone's whim since I got my own place and my own job by 18. I would've chosen to n... |

| I'd rather have a parent who gives a crap about me than one who doesn't. I set boundaries for people in my life so we'd have to have a "talk" if they wanted 24/7 I'm sure. I'm over 18 so no one can make me give up any activity I do. Unpleasant boundary chat I'm sure. But I'd prefer that ta... |

| I'm a college student, and have a dad who is charitable to the entire world but can't spend a night home with his own family. I've literally spent 3 hours alone with my parents this entire year. That's the standard for my family. I can count the number of family days or family nights/quality family ... |

No.
Are all Asians thin? No.
Some are, some aren't. I haven't seen any research on the odds of a certain weight if on the autism spectrum.
Though, I've never met someone thin anywhere on the autism spectrum- I've come across the opposite, un-thin. |

| Seems that I found one that I can pay for myself, no need to quality for the TRS fund as it's fully self-paid. I'll give it a try and see if it works out. |

| Re: Is true that autistic women have it much easier in dating? No. Of course not. It's different for each person, just like any relationship. Whoever told you that made a drastically overgeneralized, untrue statement. Sometimes it might be easier, sometimes it's not. What your friend said is like s... |

| Are there any TTY/TRS phone relay services I can pay for myself to make phone calls (text-to-voice)? I can't deal with phones. The noise of the phone, static, their voice, my voice.. can't deal with it. I'm not deaf; quite the opposite-- I hear so well that normal noise levels lead me to a near melt... |
