I’ve been a big fan of yours recently. I can’t help but think you said that you posed nude a few times in one of your blog posts before.
I was wondering if there was any way to see those shots?
If not, sorry for asking. Just being frank, something I wouldn’t mind seeing.
I have a daughter with Aspergers. She doesn’t know that she has it and if we try to speak to her about it she will not accept it. I read your article Don’t Miss Diagnosing Aspergers in Young Girls and my daughter also can’t seem to wash her hair properly, nor comb it . . . ever.
She is 14 and doesn’t have friends. She says that she does, but they are all online friends who have never met her in person. It is hard to find help for her since she thinks that there is absolutely nothing wrong.
She is not a good student, the only class she does well in is Language Arts. She is disorganized and will just lie on her back with her computer on her lap all day long if I don’t force her to do something else. She can’t manage time.
What I am trying so desperately to figure out is what kind of help works? What type of therapist works? Especially for someone who thinks that they don’t need any help? We live in Raleigh, NC. I don’t know where to go or what to do.
I am in my late 20s and married to an amazing man. I have a liberal arts degree, and after much unhappiness in the workplace + a job layoff, I enrolled in a grad program. I love what I’m pursuing (speech pathology), as it’s much more rewarding and interesting. I’m an INFJ personality type, and the cutthroat business world wasn’t for me.
However, I am feeling very stressed about when is the “right time” to have a child. I considered this before beginning school but assumed I would figure it out, though I still have not. My ideal age is 30-32, and my husband agrees, but this is when I will be new to my career (I graduate when I’m 29).
I fear I won’t be taken seriously if I get pregnant in my first few years of work. I’ve also considered getting pregnant while in grad school and trying to “time it” so the baby is born after the degree is completed but before I begin working. I know ultimately no one can decide for us, but I’d appreciate any insights from you & your readers.
