Smoking in bars is even banned here in Austin, save for a few renagade places that simply pay their fines over and over, and outdoor beer gardens. If it bothers you that much, either....
a) move somewhere else
b) help change the laws |

| This first thread is brief, but it will most likely be enough. Have you ever felt that your obsessions/interest are taking over you? I'm afraid of spending all my time reading about a special field, and forgetting about other interesting (but not as interesting as my main obsession), and useful kno... |

| At her age its really not a good idea to slap a label on her. She may or may not be autistic. Some NT's stim on occasion when they are put under extreme stress. It's nothing to crack up over. Increasing a childs schoolwork and taking her to speech therapy at age 4.5 seems a bit much. Don't press so... |

| Also keep a small video camera charged up and at the ready, so you can actually SHOW the doctors the things that you are noticing that may not be present when they see your daughter, ours used to be a bit of "singing frog" as well (now, not so much, it's kind of clear), and this removed that variabl... |

As a filmmaker, I do understand the ease at which ASD's can be sensationalized, and why this is the face some people are trying to put on it, but there has got to be more balance, as the MAJO... |
