| It sure doesn't! I was homeschooled and it was one of the best things that happened to me. I don't even want to THINK about life would have been like had I NOT been homeschooled. My experience with homeschoolers that may have bad social skills etc come from two types of families: 1 The parents homes... |

Hello!
I'm writing a manual and possibly a seminar about hiring and managing people with AS. What do wish employers knew when
1. Hiring someone with AS?
2. Managing someone with AS?
Thanks for your help! |

| It is possible for a woman to be pregnant and not show it. After all, women used to do all they could to disguise their pregnancies. Sarah Palin likely applied those old methods to modern times...or just be one of those women who don't show their pregnancy. My Grandmother was a small woman, and her ... |

I enjoy politics and someday when I get more skills and learn more about the jobs of the various elected offices, might try running... |

| I'd much rather have had the measles than AS. I don't see why children getting the measles is such a big deal, considering all the risks of the vaccine and the side effects of the toxins they use to create vaccines. Serious complications in children with measles are rare if the children are healthy ... |
