| People respond positively to physically attractive and happy presences. People who present like that get more allowances from society. It isn't fair, but it's reality. Please stop saying this, as I'm already sensitive about my looks and you're basically saying that I'm ugly. I haven't said anything... |

| I wish the topic was discussed as a basic tenant of moral philosophy, instead of mixing it up with religious activism. I don't think it should be either. It should be MEDICAL. Do the least harm, as doctors are trained to do. When it comes to laws, I believe the default should be the best interests ... |

| This is another instance of old, conservative men deciding what women can and cannot do with their bodies. Sure, there are women on the Supreme Court; but I have to wonder if any were intimidated into going along with the men's decision. I have zero doubt that Amy Coning Barrett is a true believer... |

| While I understand all of the arguments in favor of abortion, but it's hard for a lot of society to get past the fact that it always results in ending someone's life. Here is the problem: It doesn't always. Removing a late term dead fetus isn't technically an abortion but seems to often get recorde... |

We have an appointment with NESCA for an transition assessment in the next few weeks and I hope they can tell me what areas are most important to focus on... |

| The natural point in time to tell your child is when they've gone through assessment. Hopefully a parent has communicated with their child continually throughout the assessment process, explaining at a level appropriate to the child why they are meeting with all these strangers and what the goal is.... |

| Some of the behaviors are probably responses to sensory stimulus and are self-calming. Those should not be stopped, just redirected. Make your house safe for an active, climbing, busy toddler. You will be so much happier if the environment suits her needs. Other behaviors are testing for cause and e... |

Ultimately I took the approach of getting the kids into the system enough to solve immediate and predicted issues, and then stopped. I wanted to leave my kid... |
