Al-Anon. I would go and at least hear other peoples' stories. Then, you can make some decisions. You might consider getting a professional to talk to this stuff about, too.

And no one is disagreeing with that, least of all me. But, I would still wait for the professionals to agree. That seems smart.

My child HATED the autoflush. Until she turned five and the words "underwear" and "bottom" became hilarious. Then, it became the most hilarious joke ever. That I hear over and over and over and over and over and ...

Well, again, not going to armchair diagnose. Just something to mention to the doctor when the time comes to have him evaluated. It might be something more related to how very smart he is, as opposed to the spectrum. Even if it is the spectrum, I agree it's good to think of it as more like a personality trait. :)…

Honestly, the only one that might concern me would be his interaction with other children, if it's very repetitive and not just excitement. But, I would still stick with my medical professionals' advice. Everyone else has had their say. Time for them to let you guys be his parents.

He doesn't respond to people talking to him? I'm not going to diagnose him, as I am not a professional, but really, it sounds like he's three. They do that. Some of them do that more than others. My child would ignore me, and everyone else, outright.

If he's on track, what in the world are they using as criteria?

Do what the professionals in medicine tell you. And move your child to a different school. The people at one of my child's preschools were constantly trying to diagnose my child and all the other children there with something. Your child may have this, but no real diagnosis can be made at this time. Go with the people…

Well, it is North Dakota. I mean, no offense, but it's pretty miserable there a large part of the year.

1. Carol Channing is still alive? If she's still performing, I admire her and her genetics very much.

This happens for my family on Wednesday. First day of kindergarten. When asked, my child said, "I'm excited ... maybe a little too much." Said with a thoughtful, solemn face.

No. I didn't. You seem to think the article is about women complaining about the unreasonable things a few mean men want from them.

You missed the entire point of the article.

That was the longest and most clueless manplaination I've heard in a long time. And he utterly missed the point of the actual article. That was kind of interesting in a sad sort of way.

Suuuuurre. Hmmm.

On special occasions. For job interviews. That's it.

The really funny thing happened once when I posted my face on Facebook with some friends. I started getting these comments like "Life Affirming!" and "You look great!"

The real problem is that people think they have the right to tell a woman what to do or comment upon a woman's body all the time. That includes people from both sides of the fence.

I will join you in your Kickstarter idea. It sounds like a great idea. "Fund Our Vacations!" The $10 one will get a seashell.
