Reason 934587349875349875 why I never believed in Christianity:

1 Corinthians 11:4 - "Any man who talks to God or speaks words from God with his head covered brings shame on his head."

1 Corinthians 11:5 - "But any woman who talks to God or speaks words from God with her head not covered brings shame on her head. She is just the same as a woman who has cut off all her hair."

- Uhhhh? What females do we EVER see preaching with their heads covered? And just how many women do you see with long hair these days?

1 Corinthians 11:14 - "It would be a shame for a man to have long hair. Everyone knows this."

Fucking hypocrites.

OH NOES, IT'S TEH INVASION OF TEH AUTISTICZ!!!11! RUN AWAAAAAAAAAY!!!11!!1!!1! :O

U.S. says 1 in 150 children have autism

By MIKE STOBBE, AP Medical Writer Fri Feb 9, 5:44 AM ET

ATLANTA - The largest U.S. study of autism has found that the troubling condition is more common than previously understood.

About one in 150 American children has autism, U.S. health officials said Thursday, calling the troubling disorder an urgent public health concern that is more common than they once thought.

The new numbers are based on the largest, most convincing study done so far in the United States, and trump previous estimates that placed the prevalence at 1 in 166.

The difference means roughly 50,000 more children and young adults may have autism and related disorders than was previously thought.

Government scientists declined to call the results a complete surprise: The new estimate is on the high end of a prevalence range identified in other recent studies, they said.

But one advocate said the study should cause policy-makers and the public to revise how they think of autism.

"This is a greater national health care crisis than we thought even yesterday," said Alison Singer, spokeswoman for Autism Speaks, the nation's largest organization advocating services for autistic children.

The study should fuel efforts to get the government to spend hundreds of millions of additional dollars for autism research and services.

"This data today show we're going to need more early intervention services and more therapists, and we're going to need federal and state legislators to stand up for these families," Singer said.

The study by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was based on 2002 data from 14 states. It calculated an average autism rate 6.6 per 1,000, compared to an estimate last year of 5.5 in 1,000.

The new research involved an intense review of medical and school records for children and gives the clearest picture yet of how common autism is in some parts of the country, CDC officials said.

The results suggest 560,000 children and young adults have the condition.

However, the study population is not demographically representative of the nation as a whole, so officials cautioned against using the results as a national average. The study doesn't include some of the most populous states, like California, Texas and Florida.

Also, the study does not answer whether autism has recently been on the rise — a controversial topic, driven in part by the contention of some parents and advocates that it is linked to a vaccine preservative. The best scientific studies have not borne out that claim.

"We can't make conclusions about trends yet," because the study's database is too new, said Catherine Rice, a CDC behavioral scientist who was the study's lead author.

Autism is a complex disorder usually not diagnosed in children until after age 3. It is characterized by a range of behaviors, including difficulty in expressing needs and inability to socialize. The cause is not known.

Scientists have been revising how common they think the disorder is. Past lower estimates were based on smaller studies. The study released Thursday is one of the first scientific papers to come out of a more authoritative way of measuring it.

"This is a more accurate rate because of the methods they used," said Dr. Eric Hollander, an autism expert at New York's Mount Sinai School of Medicine.

The study involved 2002 data from parts or all of 14 states — Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Utah, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

Researchers looked specifically at children who were 8 years old because most autistic kids are diagnosed by that age. The researchers checked health records in each area and school records when available, looking for children who met diagnostic criteria for autism. They used those numbers to calculate a prevalence rate for each study area.

Included were autism-linked conditions like Asperger disorder, which some experts say might partly account for a higher rate.

Dr. Fred Volkmar, director of the Child Study Center at Yale University, said the educational records researchers relied on in some states may be misleading. Sometimes, if a child has problems that seem like autism, parents will push for an autism label to get additional educational services, he said.

Rates varied dramatically among states, in some cases. The rate was 3.3 per 1,000 in the northeastern Alabama study area and 10.6 per 1,000 in the Newark, N.J., metro area.

Researchers say they don't know why the rate was so high in New Jersey. They think the Alabama rate was low partly because of limited access to special education records.

The study was not an effort to find the cause of autism, still a point of debate. While many advocacy groups blame the vaccine preservative thimerosal, scientists are putting more focus on possible genetic causes, according to a recent Stanford University study.

"The difference means roughly 50,000 more children and young adults may have autism and related disorders than was previously thought."

What, you mean old adults don't have autism??? WOW! I can't wait to be old!

"But one advocate said the study should cause policy-makers and the public to revise how they think of autism.

"This is a greater national health care crisis than we thought even yesterday," said Alison Singer, spokeswoman for Autism Speaks, the nation's largest organization advocating services for autistic children."

Oh boy, here we go. Revise how they think of autism, huh? Here come the witch hunts.

And "Autism Speaks"? What do you bet they don't have even ONE actual autistic person in the higher-ups of that organization?

"The study should fuel efforts to get the government to spend hundreds of millions of additional dollars for autism research and services.

"This data today show we're going to need more early intervention services and more therapists, and we're going to need federal and state legislators to stand up for these families," Singer said."

So, basically, we need more money for ABA and other methods of torturing us to make us fit into society.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: The pain of being autistic is not due to the autism itself... it's the pain inflicted by others because of having it.

Happy Holidays, everyone...

I just got off the phone with Réjean. I got to talk to him before he went to work. He was so ecstatic; I couldn't tell if he was laughing or crying! Oh gods, I can't wait to tell my parents the wonderful news today!!!

Now I can finally go to sleep, hehe... what's funny is that even with me going to bed close to dawn, I can STILL get a full 8 hours of sleep before I have to wake up and get ready to go to work!

Oh my gods!!!!!!!!!

THE VISA PETITION IS APPROVED!!!!!!! WE HAVE THE NOA2 FROM THE USCIS!!!!!!!!!

And as if this wasn't great enough news, the Democrats took over the House of Representatives!!!! FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!

No more public entries??? Oh noes!!!

Mon, 30 Oct 2006 18:35:44 GMT

I rarely make public entries anymore. A few weeks back, I took a trip to the LiveJournal admin console and added a line that says, "set newpost_minsecurity friends". Guess what that does?! Yep, you guessed it, no more automatic public entries.

Since I can't be bothered to go back to the majority of entries I post and edit them to make them public, I thought I'd throw this public post out there and let people know. If you are/were a lurker on this journal and still, for whatever reason, want to read the textual diarrhea that flows from my fingertips, you will need to expose yourself and ask to be added. I might add you. Might. Big might. Oh yes. Big.

I did it again. Got so tired once I got home that I went to bed at around 6:30 pm to take a "nap". As always, it turned into full-blown sleep for 8 hours, and I am now wide awake.

I hate it when this happens.

Extremely Empathic!

You are 94% empathic!

You're as empathic as they come. You don't even have to try very hard to have a fair idea of what those around you are feeling, and you usually have an idea of WHY they might be feeling that way too. Chances are you're aleady formulating ways of trying to help them if they're feeling down. And if they're happy? Well you're bouncing off the walls with them of course! There are times when you wish you could switch off to others feelings and focus more on your own. You find that sometimes it can be hard to maintain control of your emotions if there are others around. Heck, they don't even have to be real people, you tap easily into the emotions of characters in movies and books too. You're a great person to have around when people want to be noticed but don't want to just blurt out how they're feeling.

My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 99% on empathy

I was on the next-to-last level (getting the 7th crystal) when I realized that I did not get one of the items that I needed to get to be able to proceed further, and it's too late to go back and get it.

ARRRRGH, do you know how fucking long that game is?!

An LQ score of 42 not the best, however it is still on the healthier side of the meter. This score is indicative of some problems that could be worked out, and we will take a closer look at specific areas of interest. A weak point for you is the situation with your friends, who are one source of your loneliness problem. This is an area that needs attention. Thankfully, your family is not a source of loneliness for you. Sometimes family can put a strain on your life, but in your case things seem to be okay. Importantly, your current romantic situation seems not to be a source of unhappiness for you. You and your special guy don't seem to have any major difficulties. Despite being satisfied in the arena of love, your high level of shyness is holding you back from truely reducing your LQ. Expanding your circle of friends will come more easily if you can overcome this obstacle. Things are a little more difficult since you are not surrounded by people who match well with you, but good people are out there. Finally, there are some insecurity issues that you should work out. Improving your self-esteem will help you improve your LQ score.

Pamela
&
Réjean

70% Compatible

♥ Pamela and Réjean have been romantically-together for awhile now, indicating a degree of compatibility. Their difference of faith may cause friction. And a mismatch in athleticism could decrease compatibility. Their astrological signs are in harmony, though, which is a plus. And their views on children are similar. Pamela and Réjean are somewhat compatible overall. There are definitely some rough spots, but those can be overcome with love and dedication. ♥

Test Your Dating Compatibility

Réjean and I are more compatible than that. The "differences in faith" are no issue whatsoever (he's atheist, I'm "spiritual", both of us have a great disdain for Christianity... I'd say we're compatible... *LoL*), and the athleticism will change once he's here to keep me off my ass. This quiz kind of sucked.

I've completely had it with that community...

Sat, 09 Sep 2006 16:21:11 GMT

I'm about ready to textually rip some people apart. I've cringed at a lot of stuff that the autism community has posted since I've been a member, but the stuff coming from people there lately has made my blood boil to its very limit. I've stayed throughout the bullshit in the hopes of giving some helpful advice from the first-person viewpoint that would help the autistic person in question, but I'm fucking done with this shit.

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?! You do NOT make an autistic kid go through 30 different medications BY THE TIME HE IS SIX YEARS OLD!!! Do you have ANY idea how badly that poor kid is going to be fucked up by the time he gets older, if it hasn't happened already???

Good gods I am so pissed-off. This strikes such a nerve with me. When I was a child/adolescent, I was put through about 8 different medications in a vain attempt to "curb my behavior", even against my wishes most of the time. I said over and over again, "A pill cannot change how people treat me", but did anyone listen to me? NO! Gods forbid you actually listen to someone who HAS autism! Like WE know what the fuck we're talking about EVEN THOUGH WE ARE THE ONES THAT ACTUALLY HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT!

I got thrown on the medications because I was lashing out at kids that teased me, and my behavior was "unacceptable". The only reason I started trying to come to blows with people was because I had repeatedly told my mother and the school administration that I was being teased by people and when they said they would stop it, they didn't, so I decided to take things into my own hands. Sounds reasonable, doesn't it? Wouldn't someone else who was being emotionally abused do the same thing?

The medications worked, in the eyes of everyone around me. I stopped trying to beat people up that were teasing me because the medication made me. Did it stop the teasing? No. Now I had to endure it in silence. It has been 12 years since the beginning of that, and I STILL to this very goddamn day bear the scars of it.

Because of all those medications, I am unable to concentrate on anything, my short-term memory is almost completely gone, and I basically act like a goddamn burnout. I have had to put up with it for the past seven years of my life, and it's showing no signs of easing up whatsoever. The emotional scars from the teasing and the feelings of worthlessness caused by that and by the school administration's unwillingness to take care of the problem are also still present.

Do your autistic kid a favor and actually dig to the root of a problem before you medicate the shit out of him. Putting a bandaid over a gunshot would is NOT going to heal it, so why would you treat a behavioral issue the same way?
