| Hey . I feel new.

| Hey everyone, I took a trip to NTland for the last year or so, and didn't visit here anymore because I had to become, for all intents and purposes, "that NT mother of the autistic kid". Talking to autistic people makes me want to basically reject the NT world and its weirdness and I needed to keep m... |

This treaty did not pass the House of Representatives. So by sighing the treaty, it is giving other... |

| It's something that's not said out loud too much... but when you're part of a parent's association, you have cries for help coming in every day. Someone will tell you they feel a professional in a day center is acting weird and they want to distance themselves from them, and they get all kinds of ad... |

| Yeah, I'd heard that psychoanalysis was still big in France. Looks like this may be changing now. I have mixed feelings about it. Sucks for the parents to be blamed, but psychoanalysts tend to be a lot nicer to autistic kids than behaviorists. They actually looked at the kid as a whole person inste... |

| France is very paradoxical. In the one hand, there is a progress about autism by specific structures, and on the other hand, there is still a bunch of psychologists who just don't understand anything about autism. Thanks Alfonso for your support. Well, I would say the problem lies in the universiti... |
