    Failing to read between the lines?

    Hi, I understand what the idiom means, but please could you give me some examples? Sometimes I think this might happen to me, or I might just be slow and stupid, so I would be grateful to know of other's experiences of it. Last night I was going to help out at a youth group. The adults...

    Thank you for your replies. I am questioning what it means to have either a strong sense of self or a weak sense of self. I am not sure how to define these concepts.

    Carl Jung's The Red Book

    Hi, Has anyone read The Red Book? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Red_Book_(Jung) I haven't because I know I'm not ready for it and couldn't begin to understand it, but I would like to know what others think about it. I hear it's an intense read and some say Jung was experiencing a...

    Extremely confusing social interaction - What do you think?

    Because people like that will pick on anyone they perceive to be different. To them different = someone who doesn't deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. There's nothing wrong with you, but a whole lot wrong with them.

    Autistic boy - aged five - expelled from school

    This happens a lot to difficult-to-manage children in the UK. And the article said it happened just before he received his autism diagnosis. What happens is that a school will accept a child, saying that they can cope with their challenging behaviour, and then it turns out that they can't, so...

    Had a good week, start my new job, and bought more trains!

    I hope you have fun with them. I like the look of the old clockwork trains they first made many years ago.

    Special needs teacher struck off after eight allegations of misconduct against disabled children...

    I am most glad that the Education Workforce panel has banned her and did not listen to the nonsense the NUT representative was spouting about her not being a lost cause. She is a bully and an embarrassment to the profession.

    Shocking Tale of autistic boy of 15 and IQ of 55 who thinks he has been locked up

    Sadly, in the UK, the NHS is simply overwhelmed. There are too many people who need help, not enough money and too much pressure to meet targets. Oh, and a lot of corruption, I've heard. It's a very sad situation for Matthew and his family. I hope the situation gets resolved. However, I am...

    Hair fascination

    I like how hair seems to change in colour and in tone, depending on the light. I'm going grey prematurely :( but in some ways I find it fascinating the way the grey sparkles. It looks like I have spider webs in my hair:D
