It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Mostly lurking...

Oh, -t. I'm so very, very sorry. I wish I could say or do more...a few words just feel so inadequate. Many hugs to you and your DH. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Thanks, guys.

{{{Deena and Aidan}}}. I'm sorry to hear the diagnosis but paradoxically glad that you found out so early and have a plan for coping. My best friend from high school's younger sister is autistic, but they didn't figure that out until she was in her 20s. And she does surprisingly well, considering. So early intervention and ongoing treatment has got to be an improvement, I figure.

Yes Deena, what everyone said about the strides being made in understanding and adapting for autism. The younger brother of one of #1's classmates is autistic. His mother is a musician and she teaches autistic children using music.

Aidan was so very lucky in the Mommy draw.

Much survival~ma to Susan's dad. My lung cancer knowledge is 20 years old, so I will leave it moldering in the back of my brain until I can update it. I hope he gets to read your book, hon, and Annabel gets to know him for a good long while.

Because books.

Oh, -t, I'm so very sorry. Take it easy afterwards, and be very good to yourself. {{{{-t}}}}

Stephanie, what about Eliza or Eloise? Although I'm in the camp that says putting "Ellie" on the birth certificate is just fine.
