| Hi, I'm doing Excel to MySQL: Analytic Techniques for Business Specialization at Coursera. It started a week ago, and in the beginning it's a lot about learning economic vocabulary - I guess the interesting stuff will come later. Next I want to look at Data Science and Python, but I talked to someon... |

| You know, princess, this is all very new to you. I was thinking about AS for half a year before I joined this forum. Dealing with a new diagnosis can be a harrowing thing. Be patient with yourself. People can have a lot of stereotyped ideas of what people with AS can and cannot do, even psychologist... |

| For me, and I can only speak for myself, as long as I was afraid of the impact that having kids would have on my life (for me, the ability to do what I wanted when I wanted, to spend my money on what I wanted to spend it on, and to be able to spend the weekends hanging out with my friends), I was n... |

| I have a weird relationship with 'normal' bread, so taking sandwiches is not that easy for me. I suspected that, when I saw you were so focused on food....... I am like that too. Had a lot of vague health problems and minimal energy for years. Then I went gluten free, just like Kuraudo, and the fog... |

| Criticism is fine but I see a lot more outright insult, mockery and blanket assumptions and even implications they should be barred certain rights such as running for president directed at muslims in general than actual criticism of Islam itself. Do you mean here on this forum, or in the US, or in ... |

| Hi, wannabeprincess! I'm new too, and very happy that I joined. I hope that connecting with people on this forum will help you. It's rather a relief to see people struggling with the same problems and actually sharing solutions. Maybe your new psychologist knows how to set you up with services at th... |

| I understand your reasoning, but I guess Muslims do believe men can be modest without women wearing a headscarf, I think it's just an additional measure. Islam not only forbids something, but its philosophy is to close all the doors to sin. What does sin have to do with hair? Anyway, the whole head... |

The muslim world is a big place, and different places have different traditions, and quite a lot of so-called muslim countries were in fact very multicultural. The Jewish diaspora has traditionall... |

| You know, sometimes blaming oneself is easier than accepting that nothing can be done. It opens a window of opportunity -"If I only try harder". If she demands a lot from herself, it becomes natural to demand a lot from others. Seems your wife is suffering from a major case of feeling help... |

I have a child in kindergarten, and my experience is that some people who work in those places are open minded and... |

Consider that there are other students who are also anxious - just not on the level that you are. If you seem a bit shy and... |
