Our older NT-ish daughter went to a public school for 2 years and was bullied, at the end of the second year she would complain of headaches every morning except in weekend and would winge an... |

| Our situation is like in that book, mum, dad, 14 yo NT sister and 7 yo aspie daughter. The kids don't have to much in common due to the age difference. But we do have a dog and a cat. My aspie daughter loves them very much and the dog never lives her side when she's home. When my daughter plays with... |

NT here.
No, I wouldn't abort my baby. I declined the tests when I was pregnant, I couldn't see the point of having them. |

| I'm an RN and I had swine flu about 3 months ago. We used to test every person that had flu-like symptoms (we don't do it anymore). I wasn't the only one that tested positive from the nursing staff in our ward. We were sent home for 3 days with Tamiflu. We all had blocked noses and were a bit tired,... |

I'm a bit older now, more mature, and I learned that we can both be right in the same time. At the begining of our relationship my husband used to accuse me of something (tha... |

| Aspie or not, your husband is very abusive. My advice would be to think about your child and how his presence and behaviour afects her. Your child is your first priority and it is your responsability to create a safe environment for her. Once your child is safe you can think about helping your husba... |

One time an old friend came to visit and said to my dad that he likes his wife to stay home and do the housework, do the 'woman's ... |

| Why? Part of my point was that we should take the opposite stance; that there can't be a single blanket age where somebody magically becomes 'able to consent'. But we can't have an assessment for every person either, so we need a rule that will apply to most people. I think 16 is a very good age li... |

| I''ve got a 14 year-old daughter and I would do anything to keep a 19 year-old away from her, including going to the police. She is just a child. She may look like a young woman, may behave like one, but inside she is still sooo young. |
