    Too Many Pop-Up Ads

    I understand that the ads support the site. What bothers me is that they are not all along the edge of the screen, or something similar. Right now, they are blocking most of the content. That seems rather silly.

    So here's a screenshot of what I'm getting right now:

    Too Many Pop-Up Ads

    My web browser theoretically has pop-up adds blocked, but I am still getting them on Autism Forums. So many that I can hardly see the site content. Please help.

    I can see why some people hate meds

    Please be aware that SSRIs, typically given for depression but also sometimes for anxiety, are also addictive. I was on them for years. Then I met with a trusted psychiatrist who suggested getting off all the drugs I was on for a while, to see how I did. What I discovered was that I was...

    Not New, But Never Introduced Myself (I think . . .)

    Question About Clothing Accommodations

    So I'm working on my chapter on employment, and doing a section on various accommodations people should get. I was thinking that for people who hate wearing shirts with collars, but still need to look "professional," something like the very old-fashioned "Nehru" jacket might work. What do...

    Are Aspergarians unloveable?

    Hi. Just a note--in addition to being an autism researcher, I am also a retired medieval historian. I can tell you--yes, there were autistics in the 12th century, and no, their families just didn't kill them off. They tried to find help for them (who knows? maybe seeking miracle cures at...

    U.S. Folks--Did You have a Transition Plan?

    Hi. As a lot of you know, I'm writing a book about autism and human rights in the U.S. Right now I'm working on the part about the moment when people leave high school and either go to college or try to find a job. I would really like to here some of your experiences with this moment...

    To ABA or not?

    We did not use ABA with our autistic daughter, because nobody told us about it. And I am SO glad we didn't. She is a fabulous, smart, kind, hard-working person--and oddly enough, she has just started training to be an ABA therapist. She is wonderfully gifted with children, and has...

    So sorry. Really hard when an animal you love is endangered, especially when you've been dealing with those "light jokes". Hang in there.
