| Take away other people and you take away our social problems. It's why I start to freak if I don't get enough time to myself. At first I too was fustrated because I thought I had forgotten how to "act naturally" around people. It turns out that, for me, "acting naturally" just means ignoring them mo... |

I don't usually mind it if women don't shave.
That said I trim even my leg hair. It traps scent and is a pain to wash. And it feels horrible when it gets sweaty.
Just kind of all around gross. But I only speak for myself. |

I have always believed that all the different gods are the same god, and all religions are different ways he wanted us to live. see in the ch... |

You have to repeat a year in ninth grade. You can take one of the following and only one. Which do you choose:
a) A cheat sheet with answers to every quiz and test.
b) Home phone numbers of everyone at your school.
c) A fake ID.
d) A robot bodyguard with white-noise generator. |

| Ok, the whole psychologist thing is a new type of situation for me and I don't really understand the rules for it. So I was hoping people could tell me if this was normal or if I reacted poorly or if I'm being scammed. Ok, so a month ago I go in for the neuropsych eval. They asked me about my histor... |

| From the sound of it, it's not a conclusive test for ASD's. They can find one of the genetic markers, yes, but their test shouldn't be in any way conclusive just from that. It's more of a "this child is at risk for ASD" than any kind of a proof. |

| Honestly, I think that kind of talk-therapy works because of that ‘empathy’ thing. I didn’t do well in my counseling classes, but I remember an entire lecture devoted to how you need to show ‘empathy’ to your clients without actually getting emotionally involved (what I would call ‘sympathy’).

| This is true of all paths of Wicca, not just Gardinarian. Neo-wicca are soft-polytheists , however Wicca are firmly hard-polytheists. There's no such thing as 'self-proclaimed' Wicca, it's like saying some random guy on the street calling himself a Catholic Priest should have a say on what the Cath... |

| Sorry, but you don't seem to understand this. You don't believe in the gods that Wicca follow, therefore you do not believe in their idea of the 'the element of spirit' - Wicca also don't quite believe that 'the earth is our mother'. As I say, there's no reason for you to have latched onto their pr... |

| Pursuing a diagnosis myself now at 30. I decided to initiate this testing because I think my son has it and was mis-diagnosed. It seems likely that I could have that fixed if I could demonstrate a clear genetic propensity for it. Anyway, a side affect of admitting to myself that I have this thing is... |
