I am a grad student studying Applied Behaviour Analysis, so I see so many kids who really need behavioural therapy, but are on waitlists and in the meantime they are on meds that make them zombies and don't even reduce or remedy any of their problematic symptoms.

I understand your concerns, my area of research is Applied Behaviour Analysis, so I essentially research behavioural techniques and therapies, how to use them and modify them so they are the most effective, as well as the behavioural mechanisms and theories behind such therapies.

May I ask why you you don't like that Asperger's will be put under the ASD's? I just ask because I do research on Autism and intellectual and developmental disabilities, and everyone always considers Asperger's a milder form of Autism. They are considered related disorders, just on opposite ends of the spectrum, so it…

I agree 100%. Another alternative: patients actually see a clinical psychologist, then a psychiatrist. GP's administering medications for mental health issues makes me SO RAGEY. They have like a week of mental health training, and they almost never do the weekly-biweekly followups necessary to adjust medications to…

It is uncanny how attracted I am to men who play instruments. Most of my previous boyfriends played various instruments. My husband plays classical guitar and trombone *swoon* I always figured I found it attractive because I grew up in a musical family and play multiple instruments myself... but apparently I just want…

Yaay for the demise of the super high heels! My feet start hurting after 15 minutes in those suckers. Shorter high heels are the bomb!

I am not a lesbian so I can not attest to the quality or realistic nature of the erotica, but I use lushstories.com a lot. They categorize everything quite well (straight sex, bdsm, various fetishes, lesbian sex, gay male sex etc) and everything is rated by fellow lush stories readers and writers. Most of the time the…

Just FYI, I have a delicious, homemade meal replacement bar that is SUPER EASY to make yourself. I don't eat them on a regular basis but we keep them in the freezer, and on days where we don't have leftovers, or any food that could be turned into a packed lunch in a hurry, I grab a piece of fruit, some veggies and one…

What about jerking it in June & July? We can totally continue the alliteration.

As a high school graduate of 2007... I feel you. Also +1 for the gif it was PERFECT!

A professor I used to work with also did some research in this area (with rats). His research primarily looks at running and it's reinforcing effects compared to other reinforcers such as food and water. He did a few interesting studies investigating weight loss and weight gain and the effects on wheel running rates.…

I LOVE Veep. So happy it was renewed. The show is SO underrated, and the writers are so talented... nearly every single sentence spoken is a joke or one-liner!

I did the same thing (read many other articles on the same topic) and now I just feel so ragey. These kids are getting exposed to healthy awesome food that many of them never had access to before. It is win-win.

I agree 100%. I am not a vegetarian either, but my husband and myself try to live a balanced, and more environmentally friendly lifestyle. That includes MANY meatless meals / days of the week. There are many easy ways to get protein, including animal proteins like milk and eggs. Most people eat way too much protein…

Only 24 years old? We had a guy at our prom that was 27. I was vice-president of the student council (just FYI student council was not a popular student thing at my school... all the nerdiest kids who were also in our nerdy band were on student council... anyhow) and one of the girls was 17, dating a guy 10 years…

That just makes me so sad! I went to a super small liberal arts school in eastern Canada and our drag show was a blast! Everyone loved / loves it!

I had the exact same experience. I told my kindergarden BFF's and etc., but they didn't tell on me I guess because I didn't get in any trouble. Then I moved schools in grade 4. Most of my new friends didn't know about sex either... and I told them too! Then they told there parents, and my mom told me I had to stop…

I was thinking something similar... not a schizophrenic break... because the behaviour described in the article doesn't align with the typical behaviour of someone who is schizophrenic, particularly those with paranoid schizophrenia... but I was thinking maybe the man has some sort of weird brain tumour or something.…

Your doctor was spot on with the bedroom rules. It is basically behaviour psychology. When you use your bedroom for sleep and sex only, eventually the environment becomes associated with going to sleep. So the stimuli in the environment induce sleepiness. Making my bedroom for sex and sleep only has made a world of a…

I was going to ask if you have narcolepsy! I have a friend with it, and her symptoms were very similar to yours!
