Re: I'm going home, i've done my time!!

Is that intended to explain autism?

Yes, none of this is a federal matter.

Re: I'm going home, i've done my time!!

I don't think the effect on the siblings while they are young is much of a concern. They get a bit harder due to getting into fights with kids who bully the autistic sibling. They're more aware of...

Re: I'm going home, i've done my time!!

If respect is warranted in this regard it's my ex who deserves it, second weekends and a while in the summer don't compare to every day. And there's a thing, few autistic people have parents who are...

Re: I'm going home, i've done my time!!

In contrast to the tales of progress above, I don't think there has been any significant change in my daughter in the past twenty years. I believe the "H block protest" phase ended before that though...

No precision needed for this theme.



As a kid she played ice hockey at Moss Park. She went to school on Jarvis Street. She now works near Moss Park. As far as Toronto goes that's a fair crack...

Re: I'm going home, i've done my time!!

Nothing wrong with that. More serious observations when the curse of the demon drink leaves me, I'd like to be precise in what I say.

Re: I'm going home, i've done my time!!

A tough row to hoe, I wish you every kind of luck.

FWIW, the two conundrums (conumdri?) related to autism for which I have no good answers are: what happens to the autistic person when his or her...

Re: I'm going home, i've done my time!!

This, I think, is quite right. Autism isn't an illness, it's part of the person. One may as well ask a person to be less gay, less hetero, less left or right handed, as ask them to be less autistic.

Re: I'm going home, i've done my time!!

No offense taken. I hope though that I have shown some knowledge of autism and related issues. I can't guess why someone, not a close relative of an autistic person, would have any such knowledge.

Re: I'm going home, i've done my time!!

I readily believe that people have their diagnoses changed. Further, I know that which conditions are cases are included in the mild end of the spectrum changes all the time.

Re: I'm going home, i've done my time!!

Accurately diagnosed, yes. A fortune has been spent on the search for the formerly autistic person and the only one that comes close is Temple Grandin.

Re: I'm going home, i've done my time!!

There's a huge problem with diagnosis of a condition that's defined as being debilitating in that, as soon as someone recovers, they never had it in the first place. I see that but the autism...

Re: I'm going home, i've done my time!!

If there has indeed been such a change then I would take that as evidence that the son is not autistic. A characteristic of autism is an inability to deal with change, often exhibited as a need for a...

Re: I'm going home, i've done my time!!

Thank you but I'm confident that I know more about autism than I ever wanted to.

I don't buy this at all:

"It's only when people on the spectrum are younger that they need the extra help and...

Re: I'm going home, i've done my time!!

One of my daughters is emigrating from Canada. She intends to live in Limehouse. I'm not sure if that's actually in Tower Hamlets but I bet it's a lot less dirty, aggressive and overcrowded than...

Damn, wandered off, missed my chance.

I was at the spa, doncha know, being manicured while listening to something agonisingly fashionable.
