I noticed that I'm stuck too, and I think it's a combination of:

Overall, though, I learned that nobody can ever get their pre-baby bodies back!

Prediction: Every tremor, everywhere, will have every single scientist saying, "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"

I love horror movies, but it's so rare that I'm genuinely freaked by one. Blair Witch, the first Paranormal Activity, and The Descent are the only ones that made a lasting impression on me. What about you?

Low numbers went sooner. My uncle had a six. He went to Canada.

But really, this is yet another example of how we're living in a culture that fetishizes thinness.

I know. A lot of people always seem to assign adult-like capabilities on my son, just because he's obsessed with machinery. No, he's not a mechanic at age 5 just because he's autistic.

I also have two sons that are autistic, one of them appears completely NT, and is mainstreamed in a classroom. When the psychologist told me, at age 3, that he would be "fine", I believed her, and never ever told him or anyone else that he was autistic. I believe that was the right choice, as I see the reaction I…

Aspergers may be a specific form of autism, but many people believe it should be separated from the umbrella of the spectrum, because the gulf between autism and Aspergers is pretty wide.

Right. Because my autistic son was doing so well when he was smearing his feces on the wall, hitting other people, and banging his head on the floor. I should just let his true self shine!

Lovaas's study looked at autistics who were in special ed classrooms, given special ed help and therapeutic support like speech therapy (though the wording is strange with OT). Speech and OT aid slightly, but none of these therapies can show the progress that ABA can. Speech AND OT AND ABA help a child.

I taught for years and years in high school, but always in schools with single-gendered classrooms. And the teachers would fight with the VP over who got assigned every year to teach the girls' classes. I, of course, ended up with girls for the first couple years, and then boys the latter. Teaching boys-only…

During the Weiner exchange, Goldman felt the need to tweet: "I feel like my record of asking direct questions to men is ignored in order to trump up misogyny charge." Noted!

Ha!

Actually, the comment was from one of her unnamed friends, not Brad.

I felt exactly this way yesterday when Jezebel started freaking out about a sexist facebook status by a professor. So, don't friend him? Why are we so indignant about this anyway?

Gawker media must have really pissed off some Reddit users on Creepster. They're all hanging out here now.

One said he wanted to "drop me on a bed of nails and watch me die."

It is weird. Something else I learned is that preemie babies have outstretched legs when they're born, but full-term babies' legs are bent and pushed up close to their abdomen in their "relaxed" position. They were so used to being so smooshed in there, I guess.

This actually makes some kind of sense. After my baby was born, I would put him down to sleep and he would deliberately scrunch up his head till it was as far back as possible, and even though he was a newborn and could barely move, he always managed to press up his face (in that neck back position) to me, a pillow,…
