My daughter was diagnosed at the age of seven, but showed signs from the cradle. Do not, and I can't stress this enough, do not depend on the school to do the right thing. Keep on them at ALL TIMES. Don't count on guarantees. Unfortunately, a good number are misdiagnosed or diagnosed late, you aren't alone.

The medicines weren't wrong, the dosage was. If you feel he does fine without the medication, then that's fine too. Just don't take the idea of medications completely out of the picture. My daughter was on medications but she also has several issues that included Autism, ADHD, anxiety disorder, OCD, and chronic tics. For her, the medications were a necessity but we never looked at them as bein...

I think this is equally wrong to teaching small children they must be saved to go to heaven. They have no understanding of either concept. It worries me when I hear people claim they have been saved since the age of three. There's no possible way when one at that age has no idea of right, wrong, etc. Keep it simple for small children. It is one thing to teach them of the love of Christ, but to...

As long as bias wasn't in the equation, then good on ebay. Mind you though, I believe these supporters have the right to raise money for the defense of this man. Everyone has the right to be defended whether we think they should be or not. Although in this case I wouldn't have said what the funds were being used for if I had been in their position. Not a smart move on their part.

I remember a time where the authorities were being called on parents by the one hour photo shops whenever a naked baby picture was discovered in the developing photos. There was a big stink about how it was child abuse and it scared a lot of people away from taking any pictures at all of their children.

Every time someone mentions 2012 I think of the movie with Rod Steiger who kills his wife and children to spare them from the end of the world, then he wakes up the next day with the world very much still existing. I'm thinking it was The Illustrated Man. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. "The sky is falling", "Polar bears are being forced to live in their natural habitat", "The climate i...

It is impossible for her to be carrying a twin brother, a twin identical sister yes, but not a twin brother. They wouldn't even be in the same amnion sac because they would have been developed from two different eggs. They would have to be identical for it to even be possible.

I can imagine Obama's talk including words like I, me, my, and myself. He's never done anything that didn't include praising himself. Probably turned to make sure they got his best side. Nothing more than a photo op.
