    Bears/teenage boys/Macky...all about the same.

    Depends on where you work doesn't it? I'm surrounded by people who are 10 years into their Post Doc.

You plonk a child in front of a TV for hours a day to which it inevitably abdicates all its higher brain functions, and what you're going to get is a child that can't self-soothe. Equally if you're an over attentive parent who provides all manner of toys/games/nannies/playmates, the same thing will happen. What a child needs is to impose itself on its surroundings and be creative. Quietly. Models, books, dolls, puzzles, bricks etc. It also needs a parent at home in its early years who will talk to and engage with it one-on-one in a rational and peaceful way when it does need attention. It will get plenty of excitatory stimulation when it gets taken outside for some exercise or mixes with all the other feral little shits at school/nursery. There are generations of kids currently being raised who don't know how to just sit down and STFU.
    Research has shown that children are extremely sturdy. It's how they can mostly avoid being fucked up by their parents so often.
    Ellipses go here.

    Yes, but you are an in-patient. That's different.

    You are correct. In fact, my menstrual cycle has synced with Chavis and Macky's.

    The defintion of autism may have changed, but you're still a cunt.

    Also, any redefinition of your condition that doesn't change the official spelling to include Ass and Burgers DOES NOT HOLD WATER.

    Welcome back, Snee! I remember starting a thread about you and in that thread I asked folks why you stopped posting on FST. We missed you! It's good to have you back.
    I am not sure if I am indeed a cunt. I am not sure what I am.
    I love FST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
