| I would recommend avoiding any diet pill, with the possible exception of Ali. Most of these are not tested, and a waste of $$$. Ali was actually approved by the FDA so it is the safest option if you are looking for something like that. Honestly, What i have discovered after stepping on the scale dur... |

1. He wants to go
2. He likes "rides"
Seems like you should go. Definately plan for the experience though, have an exit strategy, go in the off season, not over summer vacation, avoid crowds and noise. Seems like he would have fun. |

| Be careful with the % numbers. Alot of times, it isn't for the entire bottle. It shows for one serving, not one container. From the bottles I have seen in the US, the smallest bottles contain 2.5 servings. So going off of that, there is 333 calories (18%) and 30 grams of sugar (32% of carbs). That 3... |

| I think it definitely does. I'm trying to drop 40 pounds right now, and in the first month lost 11. Eating healthy and the gym is definitely becoming one of my obsessions. I'm being careful because when I first started, I would look at myself in the mirror and say "I will never be this fat again." I... |

| I would say yes. My brother would have a fit if anyone moved one of his neatly lined up toy cars. If you took off his hat, lord help you. He is definately NT. Back when we were in high school my mom would ask me why I didn't go to parties like my brother. |

| I didn't read the entire discussion because I saw too much debate starting. I stay out of religious debates. However, I will answer your question. I don't think it will be so much the denomination as the people. Also, size matters. I would say either very small or large would be good for aspies. Sma... |

| What I think people can fail to see is not everyone has had the same life experiences and options available to them. AS wasn't diagnosed when I was a child. My mother is adamantly opposed the the idea that there is anything wrong with me, so even if I was born a decade later, ignorant parents could ... |

By the end of the conversation, he suggested I get an eval myself. Here is reality. Like attracts like. I"m sure many of us h... |

| I often wonder the ages of those who question the self diagnosed. If I had to guess, I would bet they are often younger. Aspergers became officially recognized in 1994. That means a lot of us were out of school or so far into our educations that it was not something we could have been diagnosed with... |
