| Hi, new mom here to a 5 month old and would like to hear other's experiences and troubles with being a mom. I'm actually better than I thought I would be, mothering has sort of become my new special interest and I'm really into all things natural and attachment parenting. I love it and I'm pretty go... |

| Why is it that people who are supposed to be experts in a field often feel the need to put people down in order to prove that they know more than you? We just got a puppy, a great pyr so a bit of a high maintenance breed in that they often need very different care from the average dog. The breeder I... |

| So I finally caved in and got a facebook again after 5 years of avoiding it like the plague. I just moved to the UK from the US, and have lost touch with a lot of my old friends and family. I always made an effort to email people and send them pictures of my life, but no one ever responded- somethin... |

| I have a question: can it be used effectively if you've given birth to children and your cervix is no longer totally smooth/round/whatever? I have kind of a "notch" in mine... What? Too much? All of the brands make two sizes, one for women who haven't given birth and one for women who have, so yeah... |

| In my experience, Monkey, they are not any more uncomfortable to wear than a tampon. Once you calm down and stop freaking out and going all tense, you can hardly feel it's there. It's removing it that was the issue for me. Removing it (or, should I say, ATTEMPTING to remove it) could not be accurat... |

I try to just pull on my shirt in public, but I've recently had some embarrassing moments. you also massage your breasts in public.:lmao: Oh god... I really do. I try not to, but sometimes I forget people can ... |

You think If bin laden was put in a civilian trial he would be allowed to look at CIA/FBI files on Al-Qaeda as per his defense? you really think that was going to happen? why shou... |

My husband was much in the same situation you are in- he doesn't have any friends and isn't particularly close to his family. He very much keeps to himself, and this became a bi... |

| There's no such thing in my school reports though. In those days they weren't interested in human/social qualities at all, it was all about grades, attention span, and discipline. So I got "good," "very good," or "excellent" to begin with, then later it was "he really must do better, he's messy and... |

In my country actually you can just go to a specialist i.e a psychologist who specialises in autistic spectrum disorders, straight away, if they have dates available which ONE will.

| If you can afford it, I would definitely go private over NHS. From what I've heard, it can be really hard to get a specialist to diagnose you through the NHS, and particularly one who has experience with adults on the autism spectrum. That being said, from what I've been finding out about a private ... |
