Oh man! I almost didn’t believe it – I had to google it. The world lost an amazing actor yesterday. 

You are more of an expert than I will ever be. Only you can tell how serious it is. That’s not in doubt.
But, having said that, with all the other stresses this week, it’s hardly surprising you feel down. 
And, also, those things will be adding to his stress, making it difficult to keep an even keel.
If he does need some therapy, is that such a bad thing? It is there to help, and it might just be the thing that helps him over this little bump in the road. I’ve actually heard some good things about DBT, and he might find some tools in that to help him in future.

I don’t know if I’ve told you this before (if so, apologies), but I work with an autistic lad. He’s in his early twenties, and I’ve questioned him before, because we talk about allsorts of stuff. Actualy, I find him really easy to talk to. And I’ve asked him before about how he copes with things, since he’s on the amateur pool playing circuit and just lately he regularly travels off into Europe, alone, to play in touraments and challenger events.
He told me he does a lot better than some of his friends who are autistic. If he has bad times, they quickly pass.
What he didn’t say, and what I see, is that he has such a wonderful support structure around him. His parents are amazing, and they give him every encouragement. Because of that, because of them, he lives a life that is full. He’s young, free and he’s working. He’s doing exactly what he loves, and what he wants.
Seems to me YoungerSpawn is in the same place, only a little younger. He’s got you, and things might seem bad now, but I really do think he’s going to turn out just fine. He’s going to have a good life, Bronx. A great life. He has a lot going for him, the most important of which is having you on his side.
And also, is he a teenager? I swear, you couldn’t pay me to be a teenager again…

With his being a young teen, how does autism interact with hormones?  Would the behavioral therapy help with that, you think?

aw jeez, I hope things turn around quick!

Okay, just imagining Elrond’s face is making me giggle…
Thank you!

It’s definitely a long time to the lake house, especially in politics. *sighs*
As for everything else, I hope it will get better and things will look more positive soon. Freyja has had a rough couple of days, but I’m sure in time she will adapt to the new meds and get back to her old self.
Also…
Also…
Also… imagine Elrond’s face when he hears about the headboard
 

I guess all I can say is damn, and I hope things can work out alright

Totally blame Cheeto. Screw him. 

Wow, Christ. That’s one helluva lot to handle all at once.

Damn… sorry Melrick. From bad to worse

I see the status, and that just sucks for you.

Just now realised I have a double HD failure, not just my C drive but my main HD.  So now my computer goes back off again, they have to order in another HD and then it gets fixed.  this time I might well be offline for longer.  Bronx, if DG doesn’t see this message can you tell her?  I’ll be offline for an unknown length of time.

I can’t get my head around how they can think it’s in any way acceptable to leave kids waiting around in the winter. It’s atrocious.

We need a “no-like” button for updates like this… This is just horrendous. 

 

*sighs* They’ve been useless for a while now. I don’t know what else to suggest except to keep complaining. Is it the school’s responsibility? Surely they must be thinking of getting some other bus company to fulfil the role by now…

 

Way to think outside the box  Now where did I put those heavy gloves...not going anywhere near that oriface without protection
 

Awesome… actually, you could probably save us all by shoving that combination up his arse and setting it off, rendering hastily constructed spacecraft unnecessary

I’ve got a coke and some mentos  

I think it depends how many empty toilet rolls/washing up liquid bottles you have… might be too late.

I wonder if I have time to build a spaceship  

Seems like protests against Trump are being organised around the UK on the 20th, in response to a request from US activists. I might go along to one.

I think you all know I’m not fond of the establishment, and there have been at least a couple of US Presidents I didn’t particularly care for, but I’ve never seen any of them disrespect the Office of POTUS how Trump does. With all the history it confers, with the hope and faith invested in it (regardless of who the actual President is), Trump disrepects his fellow US citzens with his behaviour, even if you leave his nasty politics out of it. I’m afraid it’s a sad day for the whole world.

I just posted this exact thing on Facebook. It’s funny but too bad it’s not just an episode of the Twilight Zone but instead reality TV gone bad.
