| Hello bee, Is this pain related to the situation you are in? You mentioned emotional abuse. If you feel like you are being emotionally abused you need to talk it through with someone like a counsellor or an abuse victim hotline or something like that, where there are experts who can suggest options ... |

| Another factor may be that she was diagnosed as an adult only 2 years ago. Adult diagnosis tends to lead to a lot of reflection on one's life and throws up a lot of baggage. One goes through a period of re-evaluating past events new with the knowledge of ones autism/ADHD. Previous hurtful or traumat... |

| Oh, I realise I haven't exactly answered the question! Yes, it is also OK to cut out bread entirely, as long as you have access to a variety of other food. What you will find is that your body will naturally try to fill any lack of nutrients (carbs, vitamins, minerals) by making you crave certain ty... |

| If you do want bread, I would suggest getting it fresh from the bakery/bakery section at your local grocer, and not going for something made in a factory. This. I sometimes have a problem with bread, but discovered it's not the gluten it's the additives. My suggestion: Read the label. Avoid anythin... |

Most of us are just accepting that we will probably get infected at some stage - but those with compromised immune systems or other illnesses still need to be careful, unfortunately. It's not in the news anymore because it's no longer infecting vast numbers of the popula... |

| Yes. I think it's human nature to need understanding from others, that's how we people connect. I've been having a lot of difficulties at work and when I talk to my OT about it he always reminds me not to seek or expect understanding from my bosses and colleagues, because I'm not going to get it.

| I hate it, honestly. And because I agree that there is no way to separate myself and the autism, sometimes I end up hating myself. Even though I know it is not healthy to hate yourself, I find it very hard to love myself autism and all, you know. The best I can do is try to give myself a bit of a br... |

| For young people on the spectrum, say in their teens and twenties, practicing social skills is probably helpful. But I suspect most autistics over 40 or so are probably like me - after decades of trying to overcome our difficulties in social situations we're too tired and burnt out to keep up the ef... |

| It's the timing of it that raises my suspicions. First the woman runs off with the kids and makes the accusations against the brothers. Only then, with a police investigation against them, do they accuse the woman of being the abuser. If she had really been abusive over 10 years, why did they not co... |

On that, I agree.
IF the authorities have got it the right way around and the woman is the rapist, she should face the consequences. |

North of here Cairns has just had unprecendented rainfall and flooding.
To be honest, I don't follow climate change news because it's too depressing, we're too late to stop severe impacts now. |

| There doesn't seem to be any evidence either way, it's a 'he said, she said' situation. To be honest, I'm inclined to believe the woman. The in-laws realised they were about to be charged with abusing her, so they turned it the other way and accused her instead. Because of the baby, the only way the... |
