This is a serious warning to your friend.
DO NOT GO ON THIS BABY FOOD DIET AT ALL COSTS
Baby food contains MSG (monosodium glutamate) which is a dangerous neurotoxin. It can cause headaches, migraines, seizures, schizophrenia, manic depression...the list is endless
Please do not let your friend go on this diet

My mother texts me at least once a fortnight to tell me she loves me. I also have a wife and daughter that love me too and of course I love them all dearly too.
But then on the flip side...I do feel many people hate me...

Do you think we can learn people skills?
Yes I believe people skills can be taught but probably best done from an early age. I have heard that girls learn people skiils more quickly as they tend to be more gregarious than boys and are more accepting of one another and more observant. I use "people skills" in my job to a large degree but would go into complete meltdown if I was asked to give a presentation or lecture.
Yes one can learn skills through observation and copying but I'm all in favour of a mentor to give guidance etc
-
Why does your friend want to go on this diet? What attracts her to this particular diet? Has she tried other diets and these haven't worked out?
Personally I don't think diets work. The mantra "eat less, do more" does not work. Our bodies are not bunsen burners that can just burn calories just like that.
I shudder to think of all the additives, sugar and salt that is contained in baby food. I don't think this is a healthy way to go and your friend should seriously reconsider before she makes herself seriously ill

Brilliant story LancsLad!
Your bike reminds me of when I started buying expensive pro camera gear - cameras/lenses etc. Each lens had a specific purpose for which I could justify its purchase but I never told my wife the exact price - although she knew the equipment wasn't amateur gear. Most of the lenses I do use, but one or two are more specialist lenses that I don't use often enough but want to keep as I laid out the expense. They would be more expensive to buy now of course which is the other reason for keeping them.
-
Polarizing lenses are amazing (I use them for driving and my photography) but they are expensive and doubt they'll be available on prescription.
Sorry I can't help specifically with your question

Some days I feel very negative and it can show in what I do/say. Some days can really be a downer and I just want to crawl away and hide in my own hole.

The definition of a conspiracy theory is an idea of how an event happened that contradicts what the political establishment and the mainstream media says. It is still a conspiracy theory even if evidence emerges that proves the political establishment and the mainstream media wrong.
I'm not sure about this but I do not believe anything that the government or the media tell me/us. In fact I'm a firm believer that in most high-profile news cases, the media are told what to say by the government: i.e. it's all staged (and lies)
You are right about adults with AS being more distrusting of the media. I look into other sources before deciding whether to believe or not. I am not "one of the masses". Yes, 9/11 was staged and look where we are with our mindless security.
Problem - Reaction - Solution

I've been trying books but it's not the same as interacting with a "real" person who can tell you if you do anything wrong

Just like body language is a foreign language to me. But you can learn a foreign language from a teacher, where can one obtain tutoring in BL?
Mike_GX101, you write excellent English...

But this topic was about laziness and when being thought of as lazy could in fact be something else and did others here experience that before a personal attack was deemed necessary by one who was obviously in a bad mood.
Guess this comment was aimed at me then.
I'm sorry if you thought I was making a personal attack: I wasn't... I belong to several forums about different things and just get fed up with people moaning publicly all the time about their personal circumstances/misfortunes etc without then saying what they are going to do to solve things. Yes we all have problems - some more than others but I don't go on a crusade to bleat about them ad finitum.
For the record, as I know you alluded to this in another thread, I don't look at psychiatrists as medics. They just do what the DSM tells them to do. Real medics/GPs etc work very hard and are under immense stress and don't need the Government treading on their toes and making things even more difficult. Yes I know many don't listen and many don't understand adult autism etc. But there are some very good medics out there that I would trust my life with
You know, we are very quick to complain when things go wrong but never comment when things go right
-
Ah and so I understand why on another thread you chose to ignore the topic and go on the offensive.
Please enlighten me...

Yes, the cure for cancer was found years ago but isn't in the public domain. Also many foods, pills, drinks, fast food stuffs etc etc have carcinogens

Hear hear...!

The problem with trying to sort things over the phone is that most companies have moved their call centres to places like India and although I love the people and they are very polite, they do not have local/uk knowledge and thus it can be very frustrating to get your point across and understood. I get very angry and stressed.
Darkshine - I have never heard of a physio appointment over the phone...what's this all about?

Yes you are in employment and I'm not, but guess what, those sitting smugly in employment can very easily become unemployed, it is that precarious, especially in this day and age and it will hurt even more if one has such things as loans, mortgages and children, so it is not wise to mock those that the government says you should despise, because you could be there yourself all too easily.
Apologies if I'm out of order, but where I perceive attack, I will defend.
I am not sitting smugly in employment because the fact is, I could be redundant by Christmas. I too have had several setbacks in my life including severe clinical depression and attempted suicide (twice) and being made redundant during the last recession with no hope of finding anything else. I could still be very negative about the way things are. But I chose to get up and do something rather than dispel all my anger and frustration through forums such as this one. You clearly have better life skills than me.
When/if I am made redundant at Christmas then I'll think again about my comments
BTW I have read and understood all of what you have said/written so have not chosen to ignore things
-
Perhaps I won't use it then...

And in saying professionals you also understand it is all about money, whereas I prefer to try and call them medics because I like to kid myself that such people went into the profession because, they were of a caring nature, they wanted to help people and were not just gold diggers sniffing after as much money as they could get for the least work put in.
I have to hold some faith in these people, but that is wearing thin these days where patients are now referred to as customers.
But come on, we could be wrong,
Let someone speak up for the Medics and tell us why we are ignored ?
Because one thing medics must understand is, if they are to have any credibility and there support when they need it, they have to show a little willing towards others as not even they are safe from the penny pinchers and bean counters as has recently been displayed by the GP's being forced to go on strike and when the NHS eventually gets fully or partly privatised there will be no room for passengers.
I happen to be a "professional" working in the medical field. I have to work with the ###### that goes on every day and the ###### that I and my colleagues have to put up with by whoever is in Government and the ###### that I receive from patients...not to mention the ###### received from critics. I don't earn that much and am certainly not a gold digger. The way we are expected to work and treated by the boys in Westminster is diabolical and now our pensions are being attacked because "we all earn too much".
Be very careful what you say before you tar people with the same brush
-
Good for you if you feel you know more than anybody else. But the difference between me and you is that I have a job and you don't.
People, employers etc probably feel threatened by your knowledge (in whatever your expertise lies in) and therefore perhaps this is the reason you don't have a job? Laziness has nothing to do with it.
I get the impression from most of your posts that you sound very negative and bitter about your circumstances and that you are "owed" something in life. You have to get up, play the game and that way, you might get on in life. This is what I've had to do (and no doubt 90% of forum members)
Apologies if I'm out of order...

I'm a great believer of many conspiracy theories - many of which are not appropriate for this forum

Dark Side of the Moon anyone...? I love the album cover - perhaps I'll consider using that if its not too difficult to scan and load up
-
I rarely have panic attacks but the only situation I will have one is when I'm suddenly expected to do some group activity where I haven't grasped the task in hand because the panic takes over.
-
The short answer...? Professionals either don't have the time, can't be bothered or don't understand. Probably less money in it too.
That's all I'm prepared to say at this present time
-
I'm kinda the opposite, I "like" people (well I have to like people as I counsel people/parents etc every day in my job) but don't know how to approach them socially. There are many I would really love to meet socially but fear my lack of social skills will let me down and drive them away
my friend is thinking of going on baby food diet?

Oddly enough I like the odd spoonful of molasses. Bit like marmite: you either love it or you hate it. Warrior, I would welcome a topic to do with eating disorders, perhaps it might change the mindset of one or two members of this forum.
How do you manage to fast for so long Warrior? The most I manage is about 8 hours during the summer with just water to drink. I could not fast and then eat a big meal as I would feel my stomach would have shrunk. For me, eating little but often works. Having said that, for the last month, I have not been snacking during the day. I have been on a sort-of Atkins diet but supplement with fruit and veg, garlic, fish oils etc. I have to lose at least 1 stone but would like to lose 2 if possible.
SmileyK, you have been advised several times by many on this forum, please listen (read) what is said (written) rather than dismiss or ignore it.
Be proactive, do research and like uncle Warrior says, study human physiology and nutrition. I have a broad knowledge of human physiology and currently reading up a fascinating text on the causes of obesity and why people can't lose weight from dieting. It's not about cutting calories, its about the quality of what you eat and in the right doses. I won't claim to know as much as Warrior about macronutrients etc but I do know what is harmful to the human body and look very closely at food ingredients. There are many harmful substances put into foods to (mainly) make it taste better but the long term effects of this is twofold: obesity and dumbing down of society.
SmileyK, I would hope you and your friend are intelligent individuals. Don't follow the latest diet craze because Lady Gaga or Jennifer Aston are pushing it. Do some research and if you feel this particular diet is really for you, then as LancsLad says, nobody is going to stop you. But if your friend falls ill, then you/she have been warned...
