| 45883 | Questions for those on the spectrum... | <p>Hi Vapor! Thank you for sharing and for reaching out. I agree, it might not hurt to get an official diagnosis and some community and/or educational supports. It's great that you and your wife are in tune with your child and are exploring his needs early on. </p> <p>In early childhood, delayed language development is the #1 sign of autism spectrum (but not a requirement). Most people on the spectrum have difficulty processing verbal and nonverbal communication with others. Can your son read body language or tell by someone else's expressions how they are feeling? </p> <p>Does he have specialized interests? (this occupies a lot of mental space)</p> <p>A preference for being alone is another sign as you mentioned. Social interactions don't come naturally and the best thing to do is to have a buddy to model their behavior. As his dad, you seem him at his best and most confident. It can be much harder and stressful for him in new social settings. </p> <p>Sensory issues (i.e. not liking the feel of certain fabrics, or sensitivity to sound) is another good indicator that usually can't be explained other than autism. </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> | echidna64 | Aug 07, 2020 | |
| 45882 | Questions for those on the spectrum... | <p>I mean in all fairness to CWC, I think it was more how his parents raised him that contributed to his anger and inability to deal with things like a normal person would. They shielded him from the outside world and never handled his autism properly. He never really developed a grasp of reality or the concept that he isn't some god among men. I also have always theorized that the babysitter story isn't as bad as he and his family make it out to be.</p> <p>If you are really concerned about this Vaporman, contact a specialist. My parents thought I had aspergers for years. After seeing a psychologist for several sessions she determined I didn't have it. Only testing can tell what is or isn't there.</p> <blockquote rel="Benjanime" style="display: inline-block !important;"><strong>Benjanime wrote :</strong> <p><em>harsh disciplines in early childhood can make those on the spectrum aggressive later in life. just look at what chris chandler's first babysitter did to him.</em></p> <br /> <strong>-end quote</strong></blockquote> <p> </p> | Rick Ace Rhodes | Aug 07, 2020 | |

| 45880 | Questions for those on the spectrum... | <p>I wouldn't worry about putting a lable them. You are who you are. Nothing you can do will change that. I think some use their disability as a crutch and many parents don't allow their kids to grow for fear they will not be able to control them when they are older and worry others will take advantage of them. I disgree. If they are "highly fuctional" I think you just have to work harder to make them suceed in life. Let them make friends, play sports, learn to drive and get a job....... It might be harder for them, but they can do more than you may think.. Of course the severity of it should be taken into account. You may find by the time they are nearing adulthood they will never lead a normal life, but you shouldn't give up and let it be a reason to go easy on them. Some autistic people end up becoming very agressive with age and I think their parents constantly holding them back fuels it. Of course not understanding what they are feeling does too.</p> | bassman21 | Aug 06, 2020 | |
| 45879 | That guy that sung a bunch of commercial jingles in the 80s | <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <blockquote rel="Vaporman87" style="display: inline-block !important;"><strong>Vaporman87 wrote :</strong> <p><em>Looks like he was a pretty busy guy in the good old days.</em></p> <p><em> </em></p> <br /> <strong>-end quote</strong></blockquote> <blockquote rel="Vaporman87" style="display: inline-block !important;"> </blockquote> <blockquote rel="Vaporman87" style="display: inline-block !important;"> </blockquote> <blockquote rel="Vaporman87" style="display: inline-block !important;"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><strong><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">No doubt.

There were others that preformed for multiple commercials. I'm particularly interested in the choirs that sung in some of these old ads. Seems like every product in the 70s to mid 80s has a jingle sang by a choir at some point and many of them sounded the same like they got together and sang several jingles for different products the same day. At the very least the same ad agency must have done them because the format and jingle were very similar. </span></span></strong></span></span></blockquote> | bassman21 | Aug 06, 2020 | |
| 45878 | Questions for those on the spectrum... | <p>I don't talk about it much since I try not to let it define me, but each day is a new challenge. Some days are better than others. The last two are more common with being Autistic. However they can be worked on, it takes a lot of time, but it can be done with baby steps and understanding. Give them oppertunities without forcing them. We tend to look emotionless or indifferent, but we do express it in other ways. If you think they are on the spectrum, I say get them checked out. If you want more information check out the Autism Self Advicosy Network and avoid Autism Speaks. </p> | ThatDudeintheHoodie | Aug 06, 2020 | |
| 45877 | That's Just Stupid | <p>Almost as embarassing as this.</p> <p><iframe frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_84gBlRZwO0" width="560"></iframe></p> | Mr Magic | Aug 06, 2020 | |
| 45876 | That's Just Stupid | <p>there's plenty of stupid that goes on in virginia if you're at the right place at the right time. someone brought a pocketknife into a wal-mart here once wearing super baggy pants as he attempted holding them up while holding the knife up, it was hard not to laugh that day.</p> | Benjanime | Aug 06, 2020 | |
| 45875 | That's Just Stupid | <p>Last night, we were going to the Waffle House and we see some guy riding his bicycle in the middle of the road. But here's the thing: He was riding backwards! And he had earbuds on! I guess he didn't want to hear oncoming drivers shout "Get outta the road, you moron!"</p> <p>My town is full of weirdos.</p> | Mr Magic | Aug 06, 2020 | |
