  • What are some ideas for data for a quadratic model project?

    I need to find data that goes up and then back down. I've already done linear, logarithmic, and quartic models, but I'm having such a hard time finding any data for a quadratic.

    All I need are lists of ideas, thanks.

  • How to get 4-year old autistic son to take liquid antibiotic?

    I've tried putting it into nestle strawberry milk, chocolate pudding, and giving it to him plain (which really backfired and made him extremely upset), but none of these worked. Is there anything that will mask the flavor really well? I also bought strawberry-banana yogurt, strawberry icecream, and strawberry banana V-8 smoothie juice. I bought strawberry themed foods because the medicine is pink (amoxicillin), but maybe I'm on the wrong track. What have you tried putting it into that worked?

  • Any moms ever successfully potty train an autism-spectrum toddler?

    Any advice would be helpful. I've looked up advice but I also want "real mom" advice too. So far my 3 year old son either runs away or sits on the potty for 2 seconds only. Did any one use a picture chart (pull down pants, sit on potty, use toilet paper, etc.)? I never push or force him to go - I'm trying to make it fun for him with songs, encouragement, praise. He isn't talking yet so he can't just say "potty" when he has to go - so I'm trying to get him to use a picture card of a toilet for him to use. Any other/ different advice?

  • Question for adults with autism?

    Do other adults with autism who fall under the category of "math and musical learner", which is one of Dr. Temple Grandin's labels, have symptoms of the following: 1. always music playing inside head. 2. always thinking of shapes and patterns and/or like to draw intricate patterns. 3. able to place similar music to its correct composer, example: Bach from Vivaldi and Mozart from Beethoven. 4. enjoy geometry in particular. 5. suffer from visual overload (as opposed to auditory overload) such as bothered by bright lights. 6. have complex (or interesting sounding) words recurr over and over in head throughout the day. I'm trying to figure out if I am a "math and musical" learner and if any of these symptoms are related to that.

  • Did adults who walk on their toes (with a bounce to their step) have speech delays as children?

    My 2 1/2 year old son has sensory integration (also referred to as autism), walks on his toes, has delayed speech, can't stand to get hands dirty, etc. My husband also walks on his toes or rather with a bounce to his step (I don't exactly know how to describe it, but its not on tip-toe) and had delayed speech as a child. So I'm wondering is there a connection with men who walk on their toes (for lack of a better way to describe it) and a speech delay as a child?

  • How do I get my husband to believe our 2 year old son has autism?

    Our son was diagnosed with autism but my husband refuses to believe it. Also, he won't read anything that would explain what autism is; so while he doesn't believe it, he also doesn't know what autism is. Plus, I couldn't get him to come to any of the evaluations so he could hear the diagnosis himself. We've been married for almost 5 years and I need his help going through this. What should I do?

  • What happened to your memory during pregnancy?

    During pregnancy did your short term memory get really bad (for example you go into a room and forget why you're there), but also, did your long term memory get crystal clear (as in you can remember things you did in elementary school like they happened just a minute ago)? The second part of the question is really what I need an answer on. Thanks.

  • 2 year old son is very slow to learn to talk?

    I should say he talks all the time, but you cannot understand what he's saying. I was teaching him to say "the end" after a book today and his version would be "uhn nah" (or something similar), or "No" repeated would be "Mum", just to give a few examples, and that's when I can even get him to repeat me at all. He can say mama but he doesn't call me mama. I've been telling myself all year that this is normal and he'll grow out of it but now that he just turned 2 I'm getting concerned. He is otherwise a sweet, active, and happy boy,with good eye contact, and he seems to understand a lot of what I say to him. Also he's very tall - 37.25inches (97th percentile), I only mention that because some people say that might have something to do with it. Does anyone know any other toddler boys who were really slow to speak?

  • What causes cells to become insulin resistant?

    Is insulin resistance reversible? I am prediabetic ( in the form of impaired glucose tolerance) so I wanted to know if the cells in my body that have become insulin resistant will become normal again. I exercise regularly and eat small meals, I eat an average of about 120 or less carbs a day, I am in excellent shape (5'3' and 102lbs), and I am planning on taking supplements that lower blood sugar. So can my cells ever become non insulin resistant after doing all that?

  • Can skinny people get type 2 diabetes?

    Also, did any one who has type 2 diabetes have symptoms of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), or reactive hypoglycemia (when blood sugar falls so fast that it feels low) years before they were diagnosed with diabetes? Or did you always feel fine before you were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes? My reason for asking is because I have a 60% chance of getting diabetes in the next ten years ( because I had gestational diabetes). But I am very slim yet my blood sugar always feels low and unstable even though I eat small meals throughout the day and watch my carbs.

  • What were your first pregnancy symptoms?

    My period is 4 days late (it's never late), my boobs are a little sore, and my temp is over 99. But I took a pregnancy test early this morning and it was negative. I'm going to take another test in a week, just in case. Do you remember your early pregnancy symptoms (even the weird ones) and did you ever have a false negative (even when you followed the directions exactly)?

  • where can I find other moms with toddlers in my area?

    I have a 15 month old toddler boy and I'm a stay at home mom. The poor guy only has me to play with all day long (dad's gone from 5am - 5:30pm). I don't know where to look for some sort of play group that we could both join. I was wondering if any of you other moms have been in the same situation and what you did about it. I take him out to stores and the like nearly every day but he loves actually playing with other kids. Any suggestions on where to find playgroups? Would his pediatrician know of some?

  • What is your opinion about childhood vaccines?

    I'm a first time mom with a 9 month old son. My babies vaccines are all up to date and he gets his mmr shot in 3 months. Is it just me or is everyone trying to scare new mothers with autism stories (some people link autism to the mmr shot)?

    To me it seems crazy to risk not immunizing your child from such serious diseases; but as his vaccine date approaches I'll admit I'm getting scared. The last I heard is that autism is genetic but when I have people close to me (including my father, sister and husband) harping me about vaccines and autism, it's driving me nuts! Not to mention the higher rate of autism among boys ( when I asked the reason for this I was told estrogen protects the brain).

    Please tell me what happened when you vaccinated your babies. I need to hear about other mothers' experiences and if my fear is rational. My baby has already been said by the pediatrician that he does not have autism, because he has wonderful eye contact- so what I'm worried about is the regressive autism (when they develop fine to a certain point).

    Please help; tell me how your children were perfectly fine after being vaccinated with the mmr shot.

  • Would you rather have perfect health and be dirt poor or be filthy rich and unhealthy?

    Perfect health as in never even had a stomach ache or one zit. Unhealthy as in constantly suffering from things like asthma, bad skin, digestive discomforts, colds, body odor, bad breath, etc. But if you're dirt poor you have to work like a dog just to survive and if you're filthy rich you own most of the world and every great person is on a first name basis with you.
