| Oregon has legalized marijuana for seizures. I just don't feel comfortable with it becaiuse I would never know what dosage she's getting. Of course, there's been research. Oregon wouldn't allow it for seizures without research. It should be simple to standardise dosage if your cooking - just a matt... |

| There is one time when I really resent it, and that is when curebies try to make it seem like the most dire and extreme case of autism is representative. They will never make an example of an aspie who has won a Nobel prize, because that reality flies squarely in the face of their agenda. So I do h... |

| You both are so.... I was going to say sweet but that doesn't fit. You both are old souls. Thanks for the answers. I have an autistic friend who communicates very well and does a lot more things that one would not expect from someone with autism. When she talks to parents of autistic kids and they c... |

| An aspy wrote to me once and said he didn't want to be a part of a group where autism was discussed. It made sense to me. Maybe he felt uncomfortable being lumped in with nonverbal, hand flapping people who can't be left alone. I have an aspy son whose problems are quite different from my autistic d... |

A raccoon could be just as smart as a dog but the raccoon has more trouble being domesticated because of wild animal inputs interfering with any philasophical thoughts the raccoon might want to persue... |

| I've never approved of marijuanna as treatment for any disease or disorder. It stunts brain growth, and causes very increased chances for lung cancer. Perhaps instead of looking for drugs that may or may not help your daughter, you could research other seazure remedies. A lot of unorthodox methods ... |

| When they say "How are you?" they're lying because it's not what they mean. I know, saying they're lying is a little extreme but it's what they're doing |

| geek, I love you. Yes, if you'd find out more, I'd feel more confident about what I have to decide about my daughter. She started fighting me about taking her medication so I lowered the dosage. It was like she came out from a cave. She drew a lot of beautiful pictures, she stopped moaning and stopp... |

Seems that conformity is what the majority wants, whether it's through drugs, lobotomies or, maybe, soon, fixing genes.
If they succeed, nothing will ever be invented again. |

| When a caller starts the call with "How are you?" I feel awkward because I know it's not what they really mean. It's just a common way to start a phone call. I should be used to it by now but I'm not and if I give an honest answer to how I am, it makes the caller feel awkward because the caller usua... |
