| We have seen huge results in just eliminating sugar and wonder if going farther is worth the effort or not. During the phase my daughter was on fatty acid supplements she started eating more sugar (previously she was very fussy). Sugar has had no ill-effect. If you did notice a improvement in your ... |

| I am sure this topic has been talked about over and over again. But I was wondering if there is any truth to the GF/CF diet and if people who try it really do see results. We have seen huge results in just eliminating sugar and wonder if going farther is worth the effort or not. Bottom line. clinic... |

| Oh wow! That sounds just like my mom. She still thinks I am just "gifted". Well my advice is to just get tested. There has to be a situational context to get tested. If you are school aged then yes. Without a diagnosis my daughter could not draw on support such an integration aide. If you are in yo... |

Let me give you two scenarios and you tell me the outcome...... - first a guy walks into a job interview, he avoids eye contact and when he speaks he tends to mumble shyly and in order to overcome this he blurts a sentence quickly and loudly like there is som... |

| Once people identify you as "different," they treat you differently. . Ok I think that's the major gist of your post that you need to understand in other people. It doesn't matter what you are or how you feel, people judge you at face value and therefore attribute any qualities they think are refle... |

| I hate pretending like I'm someone I'm not too, but it's the only way to maintain the little bit of social life that I do have. If you are borderline (like myself) then it's a but like a blonde person with has a grandparent who was black. If people don't pick it up then don't bother drawing attenti... |

| I've lived 19 years without one, but recently, with college, it's become extremely difficult to deny my differences. I read some of the posts on this forum and it's like pages from my journal. As it happens, I'm now hiding in my dorm room (a single, thank god!) on a Saturday night, with extremely l... |

| I have to be the one with AS? No offense, I don't mind having "AS" in a way, but sometimes, it really makes it difficult for me when it comes to people.

| It's the reason I originally gave up the booze. One often finds that former heavy drinkers/problem drinkers/alcoholics become the worst for anti-alcohol sentiment and wanting to restrict other people's choices. Nice try but no. Only if they incorporate some type of crutch usually religion or some t... |

The trick here is to play ignorant. If a random girl makes fun or scrunches her face because you are around just pretend she is a pot plant and (as the song goes) "Walk on By" |

Odd?you just sound like a nice person. You are who you are. Why change to be accepted by the rest of the sheep? |

Wasn't looking at her at all at any point, she most likely just thought I was weird looking. He said to her "You could be in paradise and find something wrong.". LOL! this g... |
