I return often, just to see what's up. <BR/><BR/>You're an excellent writer. I think you're doing a great service for this community of interested readers. <BR/><BR/>So, from me to you, Happy Holidays and thank you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4841851020927689161.post-1453698404983057842008-12-24T07:53:00.000+11:002008-12-24T07:53:00.000+11:00Well, my partner corrected me and said it is not o...Well, my partner corrected me and said it is not one of the AS sites she told me about.

It is when people insist on bringing their particular friends to meet everyone else that I have no idea what to do.<BR/><BR/>BTW, Hi Gavin, Kara_h from Wrong Planet.

I refer parents and adult aspies to it as one of the top reference sites: you really get things spot on and your articles are so clear and well formulated. I hope you and your family have a joyful Christmas and all the best for the coming year.Adihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10771185134694243412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4841851020927689161.post-44645587625269814392008-12-23T05:12:00.000+11:002008-12-23T05:12:00.000+11:00This is one of the great bonuses of being a childl...This is one of the great bonuses of being a childless couple -- few, if any, of the outside pressures you've written about here are concerns for me. In addition, being geographically isolated from my and my wife's family, helps too.<BR/><BR/>As a Taoist, I don't celebrate Christmas. It's just another day on the calendar -- Thursday.
