the 100% directionless thread

I wouldn't want to raise an autistic kid.

BTW, before anyone gets their panties in a knot over this comment....let's just make something clear. This is my personal opinion and my respect goes out to anyone strong enough to care for a child with this sort of a problem. I think anyone willing to work as a special education teacher for the paltry salary they receive should be canonized.

I'm not strong enough and not selfless enough to do it. If anyone gets offended, just remember.....would you rather I lie about how I feel?

Haha, well thank you good sir, the feeling is mutual :P

I'm really more of a beer guy, so if I'm going to drink any sort of hard liquor, it had damn well better taste good :ph34r:
 
One of you artistically inclined folks should sketch a badass version of Asclepius for me.

Pretty please?

Try it with ginger beer instead. If it's Reed's, avoid the "Extra". It's a bit too gingery for me.

Person: "Is there a card so we can call you back if needed?"

Me: "Yeah, 911"
 
Interesting little fact I found tonight. Apparently only 12% of the population can say the opposite of these words in 20 seconds or less:

Note to self... when making ghirardelli hot chocolate, follow the directions. I didnt pay attention to how much of the mix i was putting in the cup, and I'm now in a chocolate coma.
 
[/QUOTE] Then again, they keep loosening the damn definition of "autistic" (which explains why those commercials that they air looking for research funding and how the numbers keep magically changing like "1 in every 150, no every 125, no every 100 kids is autistic") and it might get to the point where it becomes a meaningless catchall for any kid with a "behavioral disorder" that isn't ADHD or ODD (which are both BS diagnoses....it's called someone didn't smack the kid enough to teach them to behave).



Exactly my point.[/QUOTE]

I dont think ADD or ADHD are BS daignoses, just grossly over-diagnosed. I suffer from ADD, have since I was a kid. It is very hard for me to concentrate on one thing at a time, all through-out school, I'd have to watch tv or listen to music in order to be able to concentrate on my homework. Haveing ADD is one of the reasons I can work in dispatch, I can multitask extremely well, and do a better job when under high stress because of it. But like I said, it is grossly over-diagnosed, and shouldnt really need medication, especially long term, to control.

Sorry to hear about that. Best of luck to you, and your family. While I dont personally know anyone who is autistic, my fiance is studying to become a teacher for autisitic kids, and I have heard some great stories of success she has experienced. Just try to keep your head up, and there are numerous support groups out there for parents.
