Probably the best thing to do is rewind and start again.

What's it like to be wrong? Does it hurt?

The only solution I can think of is to have something that will dessicate the environment within the container.

Yep. Keep going.

In the eyes of a young child adults are so S-L-O-O-W.

Yes, I'm with you, carry on if you want to.

Every autistic child is different and so are their idiosyncrasies. How are we to know your son's unique problems without being informed? We can only guess.

That's good. I think the key is to keep it novel even if it's only with words; inspire their imagination. Eg Beans on toast can be skinheads-on-a-raft.

I have noticed that sometimes my dreams are quite simple visual metaphors: I dreamt I walked through the doors of my local nightclub but nobody was around. Walking through some dark corridors and passing through push doors I found myself in the bright, noisy arena of a cattle auction which had a sunken floor. Men surrounded the edge, peering down, looking at the animals, only that the cattle being led around the perimeter were horse-sized dogs. "Who'll give me 450... 450...475.... Done!" could be heard over the Tannoy I followed the animals out through a shiny steel-lined corridor and ended up in a room with carcasses hanging from the ceiling. End. My interpretation was that nightclubs are cattle markets. In my locality a 'dog', at the time, was a derogatory term for a woman.

Whatever decision you may make I hope you feel more informed.

I like this forum because people, by and large post their independent opinions which can get a bit electric sometimes, which is good. I would hate for SFN to to turn into one big circle jerk.

I sensed no aggression; just pointed and direct.

That's a different kettle of fish.

That was the solution I came across for it reading around. Glad to hear it works.

Do you snore or know that you suffer from apnoea (amer, apnea)? I would suspect obstructed breathing.

It was a perfect storm of events for this to happen and I blame nobody. As I said before: shit happens..

Ah Michel! <blushes> you are... It could be..... Funky and funny!

Yes,being told not to do something is not the same as understanding why; they are going to find out the hard way sometimes. A 4 year old is the exact age I would expect to do that; they are old enough to get in to trouble but not necessarily fully self-aware yet as to the possible consequences of their actions.

I understand your approach and I normally adhere to it elsewhere but I think the subjective element i.e. correlating the measured signal with what is experienced subjectively, is important in this field. I'm happy for you to chuck the minutiae at me; I am interested in biopsychology* as a passing interest. * Biopsychology is a branch of psychology that analyzes how the brain and neurotransmitters influence our behaviors, thoughts and feelings. This field can be thought of as a combination of basic psychology and neuroscience.

I appreciate your openness. Kudos. I think fat tissue is a fair proportion of breast mass so working out that area will hit the size of them. When you stop training they'll likely resume to how they were. Being realistic, how many big-bosomed and muscular women do you see around; not surgically augmented? If you want the muscular physique I think it goes with the territory/activity that your boobs will get smaller; look at the Olympic swimmers and, in fact, any seriously competitive female athlete: Swimmer Alicia Coutts is pretty typical I honestly don't think, for the majority of guys that they are an arbiter of whether they fancy you or not; not ones worth knowing anyway. I think you may be experiencing confirmation bias. Example: you are likely thinking: "He likes her because she's got big boobs". I bet you are also subconsciously ignoring (confirmation bias) all the other guys with girls that have less there because you want to confirm what you think, that small-breasted women don't get the guys; making you feel inadequate. Fact: Not all men prefer big boobs; This is besides the fact that I don't think they rate terribly highly on any worthwhile-man's list of priorities. I honestly think your current lack of self-confidence is just from a lack of experience dating. It doesn't matter how old you are it's a nerve-wracking exercise the first time. Take it one step at a time; just talk to the guys as people and don't look at them as potential partners. That way you aren't putting pressure on yourself and it will happen if you relax and just be yourself. In time, with practice just generally socialising, you'll eventually feel more confident to be assertive towards those you do want to home in on. Back to your OP: given that you are naturally sufficiently endowed breast-wise normally, I would forget about any kind of enhancement because they will come back when you move on from your current lifestyle/activitity to a more sedate one. Enjoy being as you are now; fitter and more athletic. The boobs can wait; you know they are already there. You can't be all things to all people; stop trying and just focus on fitting into the social niche you feel comfortable in. I hope this, and other contributions here, helps put things in a truer perspective for you.

I concur. I'm sure the zoo will be ruminating on the lessons learned, especially in the light of all the attention.

Of course, objectively. The same could be said about your objectively measured conscious analytical processes; measuring is not being i.e. subjective. The interpretations from both perspectives will be different. Let's face it, the technology is not there yet.

I should stress that this is my own opinion. I think it is important not to read so much into the narrative or content of the dreams as much as how it makes you feel having experienced it. Carrying reading and posting as you do, you are doing fine.

They were damned whatever way they decided. They had to put the boy first. I'm sure the zoo staff involved are pretty upset. C'est la vie (sh*t happens)
