Conversation on Teens with Asperger Syndrome Continued on the Forum

Friday April 27, 2007
Last month, a mom wrote this note which I posted on the blog:
Wow! how do we fit all our feelings in this little box? my son is 18..he is very high functioning and would appear to be very neuro-typical to the public..that is the scary part I guess..tomorrow he is going on a job interview to sell vacum cleaners (not naming brand) and he is so darn excited ! he says that he needs "fancy pants" now..and other than that he is mostly my very odd high-risk sadly 18 year old..and I say high-risk as that is what has seemed to happened as he became a teenager..lots of dangerous situations with no conceptual of cause and effect..very taxing for me as his mother..I would love to meet other mothers who are going thru the same thing..it is not easy to say the least..
It received 16 responses - and the mom who sent the original note just reconnected yesterday to invite commenters to connect with her personally. Of course, this is the whole idea of Autism.About.Com: connecting members of the autism community to information, inspiration, and one another. While members of your local support group may not be having the same experiences you are, it's likely that someone somewhere is - and About.com is read by people all over the world.

Blogs and blog comments are a great way to share ideas and information publically, the forum is a better way to establish an ongoing e-community. With that in mind, I'm posting Holly's invitation on the forum - and creating this link. Have more to say on the subject of teens, work, risk, and Asperger Syndrome? Join the conversation!

(Of course, you're always welcome to add your thoughts in comments - right here on the blog!)

Even Angelina Jolie can have a bad hair day! Angelina Jolie is seen here attending the 23rd Annual Independent Spirit awards in Feb 2008, her hair is completely all over the place, there is no style to it and literally looks like she just woke up! With 4 kids and 2 more on the way who can blame her!

If you know someone around you who is being a little shady and you are getting uncomfortable around them, then maybe you might want to run a small background report on the person in question to make sure that they are ‘who they say they are’.

Many people misrepresent themselves as the situation benefits them

The passenger seat in the car has been moved from its usual position.
Often when you answer the phone, the caller hangs up on the other side.
Your spouse joins the gym after years of being a slothful couch potato.

If any of the above topics rings bell for you, its TIME for you to request us to find more about cheating spouse.

Интересные факты:
Вечный календарь Эдвардса разбит на четыре 3-месячных квартала. Каждая неделя и каждый
квартал начинаются с понедельника, что весьма выгодно для бизнеса.
Первые два месяца каждого квартала содержат по 30 дней, а последний — 31.
Между 31 декабря и 1 января располагается праздник — День нового года, а раз в 4 года между
31 июня и 1 июля появляется День високосного года.
Приятной особенностью Вечного календаря является то, что пятница в нем никогда не попадает
на 13-е число. Несколько раз в Палату представителей США даже вносили законопроект
об официальном переходе на этот календарь.
