    New Dog and Life

    Thank you for your comment Dillon and the helpful hints to find a puppy. I can say as of yesterday I found her a puppy. Yes I have looked on the marketplace but I am not sure that they can post animals on there, also Craigslist. She wanted a specific breed and color but most of the puppies I...

    New Dog and Life

    Thank you for answering, I do feel better about getting her a dog, however I can't get a grown dog because I have a small dog and two cats, I would have to incorporate him or her into the family and a puppy just seems like the better choice for us. I love animals but never looked at them...

    Is my boyfriend in the wrong for ending our relationship because we don’t mentally connect?

    I was just reading all the comments on here and I do agree with them. However how that makes you feel is a whole different category. My daughter just had a break up too after living with a guy for 10 years. He broke her heart, he said he thinks he has never loved her and was just using her. She...

    New Dog and Life

    Hi Dillon, I have a question for you. My daughter has had a break up with her boyfriend she has lived with for about 10 years. He basically told her that he didn't think he ever loved her and was just using her so she has moved back home with us. She wants to get a puppy really bad and thinks...

    blood Type and Autism

    Are you saying that to be RH negative you need both parents of Rh- negative blood? Because my dad was O-negative and my mom A-positive. I am A-negative and my brother A-positive. My Ex was A-positive and I A-negative. 3 of my kids are A-Negative and 2 are A-positive. I may be mis-understanding...

    Hello friends

    Welcome to the forum KSparbs, As a mother of a son in the spectrum I know how hard it is and I also live in Wisconsin. My son is an adult now and he wasn't nonverbal although when he was younger I remember it took him quite a while to talk, way longer than my other 4 kids. My first two children...

    Mom looking for guidance

    It is very hard because I have 5 kids (adults now) and they all seemed to blossom and get good jobs and go out and do things, except my Asperger's son. He would go out with his brother's and sisters but never alone. Before I knew he had this we always tried to get him to go out or get a job...

    Mom looking for guidance

    This sounds so much like my son, I always felt like I wasn't getting to him, like you said distant. I was very concerned, but we didn't have him diagnosed until he was in his 20's. He was so intelligent, and I felt like he could do anything but not social. It wasn't until I got on this site...
