I'm NT and my second toe is longer (I'm also Irish). My son is on the spectrum and his second toe is shorter than his big toe.
I have heard a longer second toe is a sign of intelligence   I also think it's prettier.  |

Has anyone homeschooled with the K12 program? I'm exploring options in the event I will be homeschooling soon. I was wondering if this program is worth looking more into.
Thanks! |

| My son is the same way. He was recently tasked with his first book report and ran into this problem. The school didn't realize he couldn't understand because he's a straight A student otherwise, and understand textbooks fine. He just can't interpret figurative, non direct language. It's not a compre... |

| So, should the question be what is your definition of attractiveness? and how relative is that to where you are in your life? Everything on here makes me think that what a person finds as attractive is more than just what a person looks like. My husband thinks I look better now at 46 than I did at 2... |

| The only reason that I asked about the smoking is because when I get in the car, I MUST light one up, no matter how short the drive. I'm not even one to go smoke after sexy-time. But with my morning coffee, most of the time after I eat and the car thing is more of one of those things I just can't s... |

| My son did that for a while, and it stopped, and I heard it today at lunch actually again. I just ignore it. To me, stimming or whatever that is, unless it is really interfering with functioning, doesn't bother me. I look at it as something that is comforting him so I allow it. Interesting the comme... |

| Thanks Skribble for your support! The medication thing is really not a road that I wanted to go down, but it just got to the point that nothing was working anymore.

| Hi MommyJones :) I'm taking Fluvoxamine (aka 'Luvox' or 'Faverin'), an SSRI for my OCD. 'Perfection' is usually a part of OCD. Although, for Asperger's I noticed the OCD is likely to be Ruminations and the 'mental' aspect of it - like thinking through things over and over, instead of the typical/ge... |

| Is perfectionism a manifestation of OCD? Yes and no. As an Aspie, who is also a perfectionist (with a bit of OCD), I feel there are different types of perfectionism. I know my OCD areas also hold to a strong sense of perfectionism that is strongly linked to order & neatness. But there are other... |
