| My answer to Bratz, would have to be Sidz. My Sidz dolls would be built like Sid from 'Flushed Away', but they would be people. They would have spiked, coloured hair, but their faces would be plain. They'd wear biker jackets, or military style jackets, that have the same cut. Their pants would be t... |

| My Step-daughters actually went through their 'Bratz' phase a while back, and more than just about anything I've ever seen, it actually had an effect on them. They start wearing make-up, the clothes kept getting less and less (they were only 6 and 7 at the time.). The breaking point though was when ... |

| First off, Puppylove -- Welcome to WP and congratulations on your new baby. There'll be lots of ups and down, lows and highs, but when the little munchkin smiles at you, it makes all the 'yuck' of the day just slide away. (and I hope ya haven't been scared off by one person's opinion!) I hope you fi... |

| Yeah, pretty sure she only has one brain -- the doctors said they couldn't separate her because everything is encased in one skull. She can eat with both mouths, breath out of both noses etc. (both are fully functioning) And I think she is a little cutie myself *shrugs* My husband said that the reas... |

| Wow! After just reading that Autism Speaks thread, can I change my vote to "NO"... I am curious as to why that ihatethefda person even assumed that some WP teens were going over there pretending, but I am not too concerned about it, since I see that their account was banned. Anyway back on topic....... |

| Between this thread and the one about Alex speaking at the UN conference, I am confused on Obama's stance when it comes to Autism. Does he want to help because he realizes that autism isn't a disease that is 'destroying our children' or does he want to cure because he said it IS a disease that is de... |

| This reminds me of an episode a few years ago... Devon and I were at a therapy session (this was long before he was dx as being an Aspie, they were still telling me ADD, ODD, etc. at the time.) The therapist, Devon and I were walking out of the room, and I reached above Devon's head to hold the door... |

| Vegemite --- I still say this is why Australians are so strong and healthy. Eggs are worth investigating too; they are in the top six/seven most common food allergies. Good luck with that. Congrats on excluding sugar. We still haven't managed that, though our consumption of it is fairly restricted. ... |

| This is what I was able to find, at a quick look, about genetics and autism. http://www.autismvox.com/more-on-autism-genetics-and-genetic-testing/ In it they say that: "10% of autism cases are caused by genetic syndromes, such as fragile X or Prader-Willi syndromes." Now this is not to say that ONLY... |

| We are still in the 'trying' phase for my son's diet -- we got rid of most of the refined sugar he was eating and that helped alot. Next is going to be GFCF, but we are still trying to find many Gluten-Free products in this small, backwards town of ours. (and I am WAY too cheap to spend 12 bucks on ... |

| I also picked "Other" as we now use a completely computer-based program for his core curriculum. We do it for many reasons - 1) our state requires that home schooled kids do a certain amount of hours per subject, at home, and records have to kept. The time amount is hard for my son because he can do... |

My oldest (Devon, who is an Aspie) was different in the womb - more active, he responded to sounds and touch in different ways than the other two boys, etc. At birth he turned toward sound (babies aren't supposed to do that till a week old or more.) ... |

| Coming from a parent's point of view (one who has an Aspie child and my parents and in-laws are either clueless or in completle denial.): Sometimes a parent can be afraid to admit that anything is wrong with their child. Many older people are very uneducated about Autism and Asperger's, so when they... |

| The only reason they dropped the lawsuit was because of the media backlash. The trial was actually in appeals, as Wal-Mart had already won the first go around, and the woman's husband wrote them a letter asking if Wal-Mart could just let them keep the money and say they won on principle. Wal-Mart sa... |
