The “early” part feels less hopeful. How is anyone ever going to get prompt intervention? It’s a catch-22, because no one will take you seriously until it’s already been a long time. Maybe one day…
I’m just venting in general; as always thank you for sharing the research.

My sister has had ME/CFS since she was a teen in the 80s. Now my own teenager w LC is barely hanging on to their senior year and won’t be going away to college.
I try to help them hold a sliver of hope for new research, but … I’ve also seen someone I love wait almost 40 years for the same thing.

I grew up about as rural as you can get (town pop ≈ 600) and it’s not that hard to have a designated driver, even as a teen. I often was, which got us home safe in more ways than one: no one was raped out of sight of the tire bonfire (by the aforementioned drunk guys), & no one drowned in the lake.👍

I will be sharing this with a young person in my life who just had a tough day. Thank you.

That is useful info! Sounds far better than my current part time job of unsubscribing/deleting/ignoring texts from every Dem candidate in the country.

A lovely thread full of collapses and fires (and even a foundation of floating logs), but my favorite bit is “flooded with both water and bodies” because narratively speaking, it really caught me off guard. Nicely done.

Wait, what are you saying?
Surely you’re not saying that a mother (of any kind) can “make” their child Autistic?
Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you mean by saying they are “responsible for the spectrum involvement”; I’m not familiar with that phrase.

Confirmation bias? Worth considering with such a sweeping statement, I hate to say it.

Or, speaking as an Old, sometimes your shoulders don’t rotate any more and your husband is already asleep so I guess you just have to sleep in that sports bra.
And yes they stretch but are designed to be tight to give support. They are a real pain to get on and off, more than any other clothing.

My delightful Autistic teen was mad over an Injustice committed by a teacher unto a random classmate, so she found the district’s staff code of conduct, read the entire thing, and presented the exact infractions to the admin. (She was right.)
Autistic, and will find and wield a Rule Book! Love it.

Or perhaps the subfloor — maybe even the downstairs ceiling, if you play your cards right.
That’s how we learned the DIY-er previous owners did not in fact know all the important rules about laying tile.

In grade school my kid’s robotics club couldn’t think of team names. The two teams became “Insert Name Here” and “To Be Determined” (that second one has a motivational double meaning that kinda works…)

I don’t mind it so much when there’s a quieter corner available, but when the TV is loud and omnipresent, it can be a challenge for some neurodivergent kids. I got really good at finding the hidden volume buttons…

If all else fails, stick some real roses on it (but isolate them from the edible parts as they may not be food safe). Can stick the stems inside plastic straws, etc. Roses covered all sorts of issues on the cake I did for my sister’s wedding. You got this!

Stop. We see it. Posting it 50 times doesn’t make your message 50 times stronger. And the horrible flashing at the start of the video is very annoying

I have to say, I wasn’t sure it would work. I’m very impressed, well done.

Well that’s just inconvenient information, when there’s fame and money on the line! No matter how many kids die due to withheld vaccinations.

The two facts I always forget — there were only TWELVE kids in that study, and Wakefield was funded by lawyers suing vaccine manufacturers.
Speaks to our science illiteracy as a society that something like that ever convinced people of anything.

When I do this it’s because all the “hand wash only” travel mugs are dirty and I’m late.
Then I try to slam half my coffee before getting in the car & forego milk in case it does spill.
The other trick is to hand it to your teen and make them hold it like a human motion dampener. They love that.

Better what goes into the dog than what comes out. I’m potentially 1 for 2 on that end.
4 yr old: “Mamaaaa! [Dog] pooped in the legos and now [1yr old sister] put a lego in her mouth!”
And that’s one of the times I’ve run the fastest.
