| I have really deep feeling (ok, love!) for my guitar teacher. I take private lessons from him; I'm 29 and he's 38. We get along well, but I just don't know whether to tell him my feelings or if that would be totally inappropriate. Help! |

Yes, I have an entire edited manuscript that I've sent out to tons of agents....but no replies yet. I can send you a sample chapter if you're interested. Your book ideas sound awesome! It's really sad how anorexia and Asperger's go hand in hand so often  |

| I'm trying to get my memoir about being a twin with Asperger's and anorexia published (the book also discusses my twin's suicide in 2016). It's 109,000 words. Does the book sound interesting or too depressing, too long??? |

He was married to actress Ava Gardner, though. Mickey and Judy were great friends in real life and in Mickey's ... |

| We're 23 year old, identical twin girls. We've always been on the same page as far as the Asperger's goes. It's really hard to be twns with Asperger's because it makes us stand out even mroe as oddballs. Our Asperger's does help us with our special interest, which is writing about classic film. We h... |

We hope to have gotten more books published and make an income off of them and have our own place to live. Most importantly, we hope to be recovered from our chronc insomnia and anorexia.

| We're going to try out 5-HTP and L-Theanine to help with our severe insomnia problems. We're hoping they help in conjunction with the melatonin and trazodone we're already taking. We've tried many others prescription meds and do not like them (especially Seroquel), so we're hoping the natural remedi... |

| We're twin sisters who both suffer from severe insomnia. We've taken every drug under the sun to help it but they just aren't very effective. Our psychiatrist is suggesting a low dose of seroquel (25 mg) as a final option. We're very frightened of some of the possible side effects of the drugs, name... |

For some some reason he completely blew off what I was telling him. He told me to drink warm milk. When I told him I can't drink me he told me to ... |

Ten years ago we were almsot 13, living with our parents, had no friends our own age, lived more in the world of classic film than the real world, wrote stories all the time, and talked to our cats more than other people.... |

| We can sympathize. Our special interest is classic film and theater from the 1910s to the early 1960s (particularly anything having to do with Judy Garland or Billie Burke--Billie was the Good Witch in the Wizard of Oz). People have told us that we use classic film as a way to escape reality and the... |
