| They HAVE to make more money! Otherwise, they will do less, etc... In the US, even with full insurance and/or medicare, more work means more money, even if the patient pays NOTHING! And HECK, my uncle, in Denmark(Believe it or not), is getting less care, because he is older! So the Danish system is... |

| It wasn't a big deal for us, as my kiddo's big deal is the whole "shots, blood type stuff"...not medicines...Why do they use a "general anesthesia???" Can't they just give him something orally? I think that's just a way for the doctors/hospitals to make more money... We live in Denmark & all ou... |

| My autie son loves Christmas! I start preparing him for Christmas a long time ahead & tell him exactly what date we'll be putting up the tree & what date we'll be taking it down. I let him choose what decorations we put on the tree. D especially finds the tree lights fascinating. D does get ... |

Does your daughter show any other signs of autism? The National Autistic Society is an excellent source for information on autism. I recommend their page on the Triade of Impairments (click here for link).
PS: I'm also a SAffer!  |

| Thanks for some very helpful advice, Pippin. I will try your suggestions with the food. D has been very "fragile" today & had two meltdowns over very minor things. I have noticed that if I let him retreat to one of his obsessions after a meltdown, he calms down quite quickly. He also said that h... |

| I've read several of your threads, Katrine. You really are having a tough time! I understand what you mean about no time to be with yourself. My son has always suffered from seperation anxiety. Is your son as interested in clock watching as my son is? The clock is my saviour at bedtime. D knows that... |

| Thanks for the name of that book, Katrine. I'll have a look at it. Today we took D to our GP as he's still not eaten anything, is very depressed & is looking so ill. She is not happy with his state of health so on Monday we have to take him to the hospital & they'll probably be admitting him... |
