| Have you read Louis Lowery's The Giver? Maybe you should see what it's like when a society breeds children in special nurseries for strong genetics and then places them into stable "care families" of one man, one woman. |

My kid has never had antibiotics, he's fed a nourishing diet based on traditional foods that I cook from scratch just about every day. He hardly ever watches TV. He plays outside... |

| Let me get a shot in at this: Are they able to live and fit into the american dream easier as well? I'm going to give a huge "NO" to this. First - you can't really define what the "american dream" is anymore. Second, it's incredibly hard to get what you want in life and even harder when you feel lik... |

| It doesn't matter if they are Aspies or not, all mothers find mothering hard and all of them have seen a "darker side" of mothering. Go read on any mothering forum. It's just as true for NT mothers as it is for autistic mothers. As PP have said, there are people who are meant to be parents and peopl... |

| Hi Speedy. I've just read through your thread. In my opinion you should not tell her. She has already made it clear that your relationship is a work relationship. She wanted you to know that. She doesn't want the awkwardness that would come from knowing you like her while she doesn't reciprocate you... |

| Zukenkerl--What I posted isn't my opinion, it's scientific fact. Yes, it's rare, but there have been infants born with no brain--their skulls are fluid filled with no brain matter. And yes, the behavior of these infants is the same as a normal infant until about 6 months of age. I don't see the con... |

So I'll just state here that I would not abort my child and I will not circumcise my children. I do not agree that either is ok to do. I do agr... |

| It's odd. In the UK their newspapers have topless women on page 3. In Ontario, there was a huge deal more than a decade ago about a court decision which struck down the laws prohibiting women from going topless - there are no women walking around bareboob. In the US, you can have all the girls runn... |

At this time I was 16 or 17 and my absolute obsession was Pokemon. I mention this because the OBGYN she sent me to asked me what I was ... |

| I know its normal to love your children unconditional, but for those of us who experience emotional problems with other adults and contact. It is strainge that we can give so much to our own children, but not to others hardly at all. I'm glad to hear that someone else has felt the same as me lol. I... |

I have been reflecting on this as of late (because I have a hard time with touch) - I think it was ok because I saw my babies as an extension of myself. If a little... |

The head banging stopped and tantrums lessened considerably. I didn't notice a change removing gluten. After a year of casein... |
