| Could it be done in a more lazy way? For example, a stickied post in appropriate forum areas containing a link to one 'main' post? This would at least mean that such a post would not be missed, and no changes to the forums' code would be required. Again, while I do think that this would be beneficia... |

| After reading a number of submissions made to the various discussion forums on the site, I think that it might be helpful to have either a site area of stickied thread which gives advice on how to or where to access services relating to Autism diagnosis and access to mental health services.

| Hi Marknis, you've made a number of postings which ultimately ask the question you've posed above. To clarify: Question: Is it time for me to give up? Answer: No. Comparing yourself and your accomplishments to others is a common feature in humans , but it's not helpful. Your goals must be things tha... |

| Ok, so you have persistent depression and eat food which is loaded with calories. You also have some very negative thoughts about life and your past which has stayed with you. I do wonder if you are an emotional eater? (I know I am). I keep hearing you say things like being overweight isn't really ... |

| I wouldn't be too worried about robots or androids just yet . I also wouldn't be too concerned about meaningful progress to transhumanism just yet either (at least until we get quantum computing properly figured out - to the best of my knowledge, it took the best part of a decade before those fancy ... |

| I can't directly identify with this as I'm not sure that I've felt so strongly about something that it makes me feel physically ill. Do you mean that it makes you very excited (it's Christmas eve and you're 6 years old), very apprehensive (why do they want to talk to me over other people who I feel ... |

| My opinion here is that you need to step backwards slightly in your thinking. There is nothing wrong with wanting a girlfriend, wanting to be fit and healthy, wanting to get a job or any of the other things that you feel you are lacking. Wanting to improve yourself is completely normal, and an admir... |

She pretended to be the kind of men she would want to date and then collected data on the kind of women who interacted with the fake profile and then emulated those characteristics on her profile. My understanding of the talk was slightly different, it seemed to me that there were ... |

If he is severely autistic, it might be worth asking the same question in a different area of these forums, the Parents' Discussion for example (here, the parents of significantly autistic children and young adults might have some alternate advice)?

| This discussion is very interesting (and, at best, sometimes slightly odd). Anyway, Phemto, the only real advice I have here is in regards to: Just ask her or our female couples therapist. I’m clearly the problem. I think that the success of couples counselling relies on all parties feeling involved... |

| It's a shame, but it seems that this person's behaviour isn't going to change any time soon. You might find in a few years that she's calmed down a bit, but for now it seems that she's a bit unpredictable. There is of course a third option: Then you need to stay way clear of her. Now if it's just se... |

| This sounds like a difficult situation. I think there's probably more to this than you could write, however my feeling is that you're not looking for advice but rather confirmation. As an example, which of the following pieces of advice make you feel best: This girl obviously has some issues with he... |
