| It does not mean that you are being cut out. Neither counselor can share information without your permission. My guess is that they specialize in different areas - "couselor" is not quite as broad a term as "doctor", for example, but just as there are many types of doctors, there are many types of c... |

| I had both of my kids in hospital. Labor with one for close to 40 hours, the second one was an emergency c-section. Both times I knew- my water broke with my first one (when you're randomly drenched in water, you know something's up), and with my second one, I knew what contractions felt like, havin... |

| Measuring your height while trying to hold a measuring tape is going to be difficult. You'd be better off having someone else make a mark with a pencil at the top of your head while you stand straight (if you do anything other than stand still, your posture will be off-kilter, and you will get an in... |

| I'm with you on this.... mostly. Kudos to you for saying that you need a mental connection in a relationship. Keep in mind, there are a lot of dumb people with PhDs ( believe me ), and a lot of smart people without a high school diploma. That said, there's a possibility your mother is right. Many of... |

| Yowza. That's typical for grad school, for sure, but I don't remember reading that much as an UG (then again, I didn't actually read most of what was required in UG; can't get away with not-reading in grad school). Reading @100 pages per week for one class; the other varies wildly; reading related t... |

| Another not-a-counselor option in Psychology is Quantitative Psychology; it's a lot of statistics, but with more of a social sciences focus, as opposed to the theoretical stats you'd find in a Statistics department. If you've got the good-with-numbers kind of autism, Quant may be a good way to go. T... |

| Drives me crazy. Definitely ask your professors, when that happens. The prof may have read some new research which contradicts a theory presented in a text book; in some fields (the social sciences in particular), there may not be one correct answer to a problem, so your prof may present a different... |

| 1. Rewarding gradual change has been shown to work well with people with ASD, even with severe symptomology. For behavioral change to really work, the key is to target one behavior at a time , not lots of changes, otherwise whatever the reward is loses its effectiveness. Reducing an autistic human ... |
