| I know this thread was started awhile ago however, if you're still around and having issues then here's my 2 cents: You can't force other people to change. However, approach determines response. If you would like your wife to be more perceptive of your needs or more spontaneously affectionate then l... |

Behavior wise things are better now than they were in December (mostly from me laying down the law this time aroun... |

| My sister-in-law and her husband recently moved here from out of state. They have a two year old daughter. They were staying with other family in the area however, that didn't work out. Currently they're staying with my husband and I until the 1st (they have signed a lease for their own place but it... |

| I view hygiene and grooming as a sort of "as needed" basis. If I need a shower then I take a shower. If the legs are getting fuzzy then I shave them, etc etc... it's just not something I particularly enjoy doing and nothing I do on any sort of predictable or ritualistic schedule (ie. I don't shower ... |

| That Autism is a spectrum. That people with Autism in any form are not "empty shells" "spiritless" "not there" etc. Just because you can't see "the light" doesn't mean that it isn't on. Everyone's experiance is differant, and it can be really offensive to make sweeping genralizations about people wh... |

| Thanks guys. :D I got into it with someone on a forum for my local community. It really bothered me because no matter how many times I pointed out to the person that what they were saying and implying was offensive the more they attacked me. I just don't understand how someone can be so unaccepting ... |

I can't help but feel bad for these people's kids. "it is EXACTLY like the lights go out. They stop talking, stop interact, stop smiling, stop LIVING i... |

| Not to be off topic but this reminds me of my 21st birthday. Of course I was drunk but my husband and I went to Denny's and I got upset because I could hear everyone else's conversations in detail and couldn't shut them out... I heard everything, absolutely everything simultaneously. My husband didn... |

The other things I'll do is that if I'm multitasking, like checking my email and talking to someone then I'll end up replacing words in a sentence with words I'm thinking or reading that don't fit into the s... |

| Quick question- why is it that this kid having autism was a more important detail to mention rather than why he stabbed a security guard in the first place? I don't see how autism is even relevant to this story without that bit of information. |
