]]> Comment on Six Reasons Why Aspergers Syndrome Is Not A Disability by PGMhttp://www.healthwellnessdigest.com/six-reasons-why-aspergers-syndrome-is-not-a-disability/#comment-6480 PGM Mon, 24 Oct 2011 15:33:20 +0000 http://www.healthwellnessdigest.com/six-reasons-why-aspergers-syndrome-is-not-a-disability/#comment-6480 I disagree. If the diagnosis is only mild Aspgerger's this might hold true, but Asperger's is like the rest of the autism spectrum and no 2 are alike. My son's anxiety and social awkwardness go beyond merely having a preference. Going out in public he has to carry earplugs because of sensitivity to noise. We avoided the label for years, knowing that was what was unfolding, but it was always there, even as a toddler. Finally, as a teen, when odd behaviors look odder, we had to get professional help and accept the label. The strength it gives him is immunity to peer pressure, and he is a wonderful young man who is gifted in science. Yet, the things we think are common sense, like using a hot pad to remove a pizza from the oven, don't occur to him to the point he's burned himself badly enough to require medical attention. I could go on, but none of it added up to him being able to keep up with his younger brother when it comes to cooking, driving, and independent living tasks. At almost 20, he is not driving, although we've been trying. For him it's a disability. I disagree.

]]> Comment on A Brief Synopsis Of The Testicular Implant Is It Necessary by jason dayhttp://www.healthwellnessdigest.com/a-brief-synopsis-of-the-testicular-implant-is-it-necessary/#comment-6475 jason day Sat, 08 Oct 2011 19:07:49 +0000 http://www.healthwellnessdigest.com/a-brief-synopsis-of-the-testicular-implant-is-it-necessary/#comment-6475 All testicle implants are for cosmetic reasons only. Same as a breast enlargement. After suffering from an undecended testicle my doctor chose to remove mine in the fear it would become cancerous. Before having my imlant I was shy and afraid to use the restrooms. I don't think many women realize that in many restrooms you simply have a large trough you that men line up to unrinate with any form of privacy. I was literally so self concious i would be scared to use the restroom. Also I have actually been told by a shallow lady after sex that it lookd wierd with only one testicle. Do you know how that felt and how much I tried to conseal my tesitcles when in a sexual situation at the fear of being rejected again. This other girl had no idea until after sex i was lounging around with the light on. Now after having one I feel normal and i look normal. I no longer am scared someone might "discover" I am abnormal. The bad thing is if a women has a breast removed reconstruction surgery is usually ocvered by insurances, but since this is a problem only affecting men and tesitcles insurances will not ay to have implants even after truama or cancer. It's time women be a little more considerate and compassionate. All testicle implants are for cosmetic reasons only. Same as a breast enlargement.

If it makes you feel beter you will have more confidence. If you want an implant you should get one. The fact that this lady says it and at the same time would be appualled if a man said he would never date a women with a boob job or one that wears makeup to make them look better shows how one sided and hypocritical this world has become.

Your post is good and informative. I am a diabetic patient and hence I am using natural sweetner like Natvia (http://nativa.com) which is made of stevia leaves. :) Nice Post.

]]> Comment on Shrink Belly Fat by Whitneyhttp://www.healthwellnessdigest.com/shrink-belly-fat/#comment-6394 Whitney Wed, 03 Aug 2011 15:59:24 +0000 http://www.healthwellnessdigest.com/shrink-belly-fat/#comment-6394 This is very accurate. I was just put on a gluten free diet by my doctor, and in 3 weeks, I had already dropped almost a full 10 pounds. I will warn you that you have to go the bathroom a lot more on a gluten free diet. I was put on mine because of Hashimotos Thyroid Disease, but it may work for other people. This is very accurate.

]]> Comment on Six Reasons Why Aspergers Syndrome Is Not A Disability by Anushahttp://www.healthwellnessdigest.com/six-reasons-why-aspergers-syndrome-is-not-a-disability/#comment-6389 Anusha Wed, 27 Jul 2011 01:21:12 +0000 http://www.healthwellnessdigest.com/six-reasons-why-aspergers-syndrome-is-not-a-disability/#comment-6389 I am in total agreement with such a view. I think my daughter displays most of the signs of Aspergers, but my husband and I do not see it as a problem. She is smart and capable, well-behaved and polite and does not get pushed around by peer pressure. She makes friends when she finds other children that don't play playground politics and are suited to her personality. She is loving and warm child once she is comfortable in a situation. She has strong interests in structured subjects such as English and Maths but we try to encourage her to explore creativity and social issues by talking to both our children, and she is making progress. I was painfully shy as a child but grew up in a society with strong social bonds. My husband tended to be a loner but preferred his independence to group enforced rules. We do not think such traits are disabilities, but can be strengths given an understanding and supportive environment. Social graces and cues are learned behaviour, similar to different socio-cultural norms. I feel it is more important to focus on the negative media and peer influences that affect all our children along with fast changing societal values and structures. Some children that have no idea of social cues may have a disability but others simply choose not to play by the current rules of society. Someone with Aspergers in one culture may be perfectly normal in another, so it can be subjective to context too. My personal opinion is that many 'disabilities' such as ADD, ADHD and Asperger's are simply responses to changes in society, from media to food to family relationships.

i don’t like the term being used like this as an insult, i perfer the shortened term because it is easier to remember.

but i agree this is a sickness, i suffer from some of the physical ailments, and emotional torments this group overlooks. i’m on wrongplanet.net personally.

i didn’t ask for this illness and if i could have a choice to be rid of it would take it, it would be a huge adjustment because i dwell in fantasy and not reality.

but i don’t think aspie babies should be killed to wipe out the problem, but maybe put towards finding what causes it and then finding a way to manage it. because as much as i would love to be normal i would not like thinking my mom had a choice to kill me.
