“I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.” – Thomas Jefferson I would too. I think that the world has gotten too protective after 911. But that's just me I guess. There is such a thing as using a disaster like 911 to exert even more control on everyone and I think there is a degree of that mixed in with the genuine attempt to keep people safer.

there is a problem when everyone gets a trophy and no one gets spanked - mike huckabee Why? It's only at a very young age where the whole team gets a trophy isn't it? And, I honestly don't think spanking does anything other less violent deterrents can't do. We don't want to teach our children to be violent, but think nothing of being violent to them? Is that a good way to show them how not to be violent?

thats why i plan all my supplies and such for NO electricity... Certainly not a bad idea. I camp so have lots of stuff that don't require electricity and even now with the intermittent outages of power they have come in handy. Usually the one person on the block the neighbors come to for coffee when the power is out for any length of time And hot soup too sometimes!

Are we doing a disservice to autistic kids by labeling them as high functioning autism? This article seems to believe it is a disservice. I tend to agree. It's not our IQ score that determines whether or not we are successful in life, having the coping mechanisms that are so needed to socially be successful. It is more our abilities to cope in the emotional world, our ability to work with others etc. If we can't cope emotionally and be socially 'able' it doesn't matter how smart we are. We had a kid in my grade that was a genius. His IQ scores were very high and he excelled in school. But he wasn't able to function very well socially and he slowly became a violent and dangerous genius. He started his trend in that direction in grade 7 when he finally had enough of the teasing and taunting because of what other students saw as nerdy, by hitting another student over the head with a metal lunch box. In high school guys would steal his homework and tear it up and he finally snapped. He would build bombs and put them in the lockers or on the doorstep of a girl who he'd asked out and she rejected him. He couldn't cope emotionally and kids are cruel. I used to feel so sorry for him seeing him in grade 8 and 9 running crying after the guys that had his homework and were destroying it. No one seemed to stick up for him. I did sometimes, but I couldn't change anything. He seemed to trust me and would sometimes get me to help explain something to another kid when he felt overwhelmed. But if it was just IQ that makes the difference he should have been by far the most successful among all the rest of us. cosmosmagazine.com/biology/high-functioning-autism-a-misleading-term?utm_source=Cosmos+-+Master+Mailing+List&utm_campaign=230529ba5d-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_3f5c04479a-230529ba5d-180457177

I think it would only be a problem if they were expected to be higher functioning than they really are. A term itself isn't the problem, but what it might do for expectations that might be over estimated is where the issues may be happening.

That doesn't look good. I guess we're going to see the price of food going up by the look of that.

I am finally going to meet my sister on my birth father's side. I met my brother last fall for the first time and my sister was not sure. She has finally said that she thinks it's time for us to meet. I am going to see her the end of July. I am so excited, but also nervous.

She has finally said that she thinks it's time for us to meet. I am going to see her the end of July. I am so excited, but also nervous. We have a program in N.Z about a guy who researches and finds lost relatives, mostly birth mothers and fathers. Often it brings tears to your eyes watching as an adult child meets their birth parent for the first time or an adult child meets up with their birth parent after years of not knowing them. Sometimes they learn they have passed away but their unknown siblings are located. It’s an emotion truely only ‘they’ could feel. All the best Snow.
