Does anyone else around here have a nonverbal child? My autistic son is almost six, and he stopped speaking several years ago after a seizure. It makes a lot of everyday things difficult; it's hard to know what he wants and he...

cynicalandoutspoken I work with autistic children and two of them are nonverbal. One is 14 and 1 is 5. I can tell you that it does get easier as he gets older but Im sure that is a small ray of hope right now. I've learned to watch their facial expressions. The way you and I...

They say that into every life, some rain must fall. But hells bells, into some people's lives it never seems to do anything but pour! All of us suffer losses of one kind or another at various times in our lives. And because...

Last year the British Meteorological Office (Met O) forecast a "Barbecue Summer" of endless long days of warm sun and high (for us) temperatures. Unfortunately we had rain and not a lot of sun. The Met O took a lot of criticism...

cynicalandoutspoken I want to be a meteorologist. They are the only people who can be WRONG all the time and never lose their job. Yeah, I'm ready for summer but like you said, if it is anything like last summer it is going to rain 3-5 days a week. But I don't have to shovel...

Many here will know that I am vehemently opposed to the concept of the private right to bear arms - which I am disappointed to learn in the US does not include F-16 fighters, bazookas or missiles but is limited to relatively puny...

cynicalandoutspoken I worked for a company that had a "no bare arms" policy. For Halloween that year, I dressed up as Yogi Bear. Sorry. Been painting all day. That's all I got.

The UK medical authorities have refused to allow all children to be immunised against chicken pox on the grounds of cost and the fear that it might induce shingles when the child is older. The real concern apparently is that they...

I'm on Skype to a friend who is unwell. I now know that I must be dull and boring as she's fallen asleep! I've tried to wake her but she's gone into a deep sleep. I have thought of singing her a lullaby and then hanging up quietly...

cynicalandoutspoken You are not dull and boring. It is the melodic sound of your voice that can lull anyone into a peaceful sleep. P1ke's voice, a cup of tea and a bowl of chicken soup would make even the worst aliment better

cynicalandoutspoken I'm taking it one day at a time. I know I was a holy terror as a teenager so there is little she can do that I didn't. But I paid dearly for the mistakes I made and I'm trying to spare her the same. I will always love her. I may want to duct tape her mouth...
