| Dressing up is important, and depends on the function. Always wear clean neat clothes. Even work clothes that may be splattered with plaster or paint, make sure they're clean and smell clean at the start of the day at least. :) Makeup, well, it's all about accentuating the positive. My wife is a the... |

| I think half of all the garbage we deal with ( Including NT people ) Is leftover trauma from earlier life experiences. You feel sad because you accept everyone's criticism as valid. You feel angry because you are still dealing with the criticisms of previous life experiences. Everyone, including NTs... |

| If your gums bleed, you have mild gingivitis. Without brushing, you probably WILL get it between your 6month dentist visits. And it will never go away.

| Oh gawds, nothing is more off-putting than bad breath. Hey, if you just got done jogging, you've got a while before it really starts to stink. But don't brush in the morning, and no one wants to be around you all day. "Like a breeze over a garbage scow" I can't reccomend those sonicaire toothbrushes... |

| Find a group or club that shares your obsession(s). By it's very nature, it will draw people LIKE you. If you feel unsure, or uneasy, still GO! I can't emphasize this enough. 90% of the time, social groups make me uneasy. But groups devoted to a similair interest/hobby WILL attract them. So go. You'... |

| If he is like me, than non-competitve play and activities are probably fun. So try a Science Museum ( especially children's museum ), a zoo, art gallery, etc. Get him involved in creative summer camps. ( Local park services, etc, often have summer camps in the park.

If it progressively gets worse, and increases in severity, seek medical advice.
But I have noticed times where my speech is a little slurry, or I stumble/mumble words. This seems to last for short periods, and probably ties into stress, stimulation, and the fact the brain is a everchanging organ. |
