why is is that anytime someone has a differing opinion--sm
that person suddenly has an *anger issue*. If she doesn't like AI, she does not have to. that does not make that person ILL or ANGRY.
Anytime my mother would see graffiti she'd say,...
"Fools names and fools faces, always found in public places."
Have you noticed that anytime 1 of the performers
decides to go on the offensive as Scott did when he said he was satisfied with his performance and thought good (as did Megan) and others, the voters out there just do not seem to like it and they are voted off really soon? Now when Lil was getting a bad evaluation the other night, she was not standing there saying she was satisfied and that was that and she stayed and Scott went. I really think people pay close attention to that and it does not pay for the contestants who want to do their own thing their own way. Just does not work out well for them. I did not see Adam the other night but saw Danny and as usual thought very good. I think it is going to be a guys only when all said and done.
Anytime you feel that internal concern
it's important to follow through. Have him evaluated, perhaps multiple evaluations. You can't go wrong. Either your fears will be set aside, or you can begin early intervention.
I have no experience with autistic children, but I can tell you that my youngest child did many of the things that you list under "red flags". He obsessed over lining things up, particularly cars. In addition, he'd get VERY upset if you disturbed his line. He barely spoke until he was 3 years old. He always seemed distant to us, not wanting or giving hugs, kisses, not interacting very much. I really felt that he had some sort of serious delay. In comparison, his older brother was always very engaging, talkative, learned to read at age 3. We were very concerned about our younger child.
Fast forward a little bit... our younger son had a slow start in school, but by second grade, he was identified as gifted. He eventually came out of his shell, became talkative, and today is a confident, poised young man, quick to smile and hug his mother. He was just offered scholarships to two major universities. He is planning a career in engineering.
Our older son, who grabbed all sorts of attention for being so advanced, is a wonderful young man, too. He's level-headed, respectful, a real man of character at the age of 20. When he entered kindergarten, he was tested at a 3rd grade reading level, and was equally ahead of the curve in all the other academic areas. Teachers loved him. Eh, but all good things come to an end. He always marched to the beat of a different drummer, and he never was motivated by anything external to his own desires. As a result, he was never much for bringing home good grades. "I know the stuff, why must you all ask me to prove it?" He's returning to college today with a smile on his face and once again on academic probation. "Don't worry mom, you know I know this stuff." The odds are, he will most likely pull himself back up to minimum acceptable standards, just as he has all through his school career. I have a collection of failure warnings that spans years. But he's a wonderful human being and a honorable man, and very smart.
My point is, kids do surprise their parents! Good luck to you and your family.
Anytime - Enjoy the show tonight
That was so nasty. I actually had to change the channel. Too creepy for me and after watching so many seasons, that's saying a lot. LOL.
Amy, your halo is ready anytime you want to pick it up! //
