"I predict that even these very young, inexperienced children are unlikely to fall for the ruse, especially when they realize that unlike all of them, at age four Zack is not yet toilet trained. Perhaps I can have a scarlet "A" embroidered on his pull-ups." #KaeEditsAUWE#ElmoMum
Is that supposed to be funny?
ANY decent doctor is going to tell a parent that as long as the kid is potty trained by age 5 they are within 'normal' standards of development.
No she bloody doesn't! She wants that 80k a year you're spending on 'therapy' and to maintain the 'glory' of Auti$m $ peaks (cause if you tell me she has no affiliation with those guttersnipes I doubt I'd believe you).
"He's a kind and decent child [Zack] with autism who deserves to be accepted and included on that basis alone, irrespective of skills or deficits. He deserves a chance, just like any and every other child."
She is so wrapped up around what she thinks 'normal' is... it's almost a special interest in what being 'normal' means. Of making everything LOOK that way.
I don't offer it to many ppl bcs I'm usually disappointed. It's just been my life experience.
Today I've realized that I'm likely to be friends for a very long time with one person I haven't talked to much lately bcs of life/baby stuff.
& I
sadly realized that two other peeps I had in the *friend* category have been demoted to *ppl I talk to sometimes*.
I don't really understand how or why that happens for me. It's very clear in my head, it's not something that's intentional in any way.
It just happens.
Usually
something happens that makes me realize they obviously don't feel the same way abt me as I did abt them.
Like if they considered us *casual mates* and I thought *found family*, or if they thought *potential love interest* and I thought *fun person to chat online with*
I snort every time I see people down on mobile eyebrows for writing stuff.
It's ridiculous. Do all y'all writers ever actually LOOK at another human's face? Eyebrows, lids & corners of the eyes are the MOST mobile & expressive parts of our faces.
Even more so than the mouth.
I am quite proud to cling to my eyebrow motions in writing. My brows are the easiest way for you to tell how I'm feeling.
I can control my mouth and eyes okay, brows? Not so much.
Wiggly eyebrows are GOOD when describing characters. As with anything it shouldn't be overused,
but it's like that REALLY AWFULLY BAD ADVICE to get rid of all instances of *was*.
Seriously, have you ever tried that? (I have, it equals a very horrible piece of prose.)
With all writing advice, please, please, please remember that it's YOUR story. YOU write it how y'all see
