I cant find any reference to it as being a valid diagnosis ( Dx ). My daughter ( 8 ) supposedly has this . My other children are on the Autism Spectrum , I'm wondering if this Dx is a veiled way of hinting that she has a form of Autism without coming out and saying it. The agency that tested her would have to provide her services if she fell on the Autism Spectrum but now has refused to because she has " Social Cognitive Disorder " . Any help is appreciated.

I seem to be coming across an extreme amount of highly educated people with a complete lack of common sense. I wanna know if its something that is taught to us or is it a chemical in the brain that gives some of us what seems to be this unique quality?

Imagine you wake up 2moro and discover that everybody you ever met was a dream. Even your parents. That they don't exist....that you're the only human on this planet. How would you stay alive. What would you do? Will you be motivated enough to stay alive or will you die?

I have a phobia (of tornados, hurricanes, or any type of wheater like that) I use to act crazy as I dont know what when I was a kid. Why do people do werid things when they have reached the pinpoint line of where their phobia begins?

What use to happen with mine: (I think I was about 7 or 8 in this one) Mine has, one day I with my 'aunt' and she was watching the news and they were talking about the wheater. I heard something about a tornado warning (but didnt hear it was an area away from us and it was just barely too far for it to reach us) and I went crazy. Tear streaming down my cheeks, the neighbors were probably like 'what the heck is going on at their house' because I was yelling like crazy saying 'I WANT MY MOMMY, GET HER BACK HERE! I DONT WANT YOU AROUND ANYMORE, I WANT MY MOMMY' I ran to the phone an called my aunt seeing as my mom was at work and called her crying into the phone asking her to get me and telling her of the tornado. She laughed it off and I hung up. I continued to cry and scream until it was past my bed time and my eye were bloodshot and my face was all red. My room was halfway destroyed because I would throw the covers off my bed and take every stuff animal out and put it on my bed and finally I went to bed.

(yes, I still have the phobia, its just not that crazy)

And it's not just because I know I have to go to work (though that might be a small part of it). Seriously though, I don't feel 'depressed', but I do feel really sad and moody most mornings. It's as if all my negative emotions and thoughts are running through my head at the same time. Sometimes I even cry a little...is this normal? I know this can't just be PMS, since it occurs throughout the month. Can anyone else relate?

As children we are taught certain thought process called core assumptions. We believe what we see, hear and what appears to be our reality. Who and what we become is directly influence by information generated in our minds. Thus for every action, there is a reaction

Is this news overhyped? I have yet to really understand why everybody anxiously waits on this news so much . They talk about it like it is opening up a water faucet or something to allow more money in the economy or not? I understand it may give loaner banks a little more incentive or not to loan money , but seriously do you think it is really that big of a indicator as to where the economy is going to head?

Also where does the money go that is already in the economy? Does it just evaporate or something? Why do we always have to depend on more and more money being printed up?

I am classified as a level 3 sex offender (not child molestation), I believe racism, anger, revenge and a psychological taught mentality contributes to criminal and sexual behaviors. I believe society deserves to hear this view point, because racism is an illness and know there are different reasons why black men may commit rape against white women. Compared to why white men rape period. Criminal behavior and criminal Mentality have associated factors. If rape is a crime of aggreesion more then a crime of sex. Then a specific mindset is connected. No one can tell you why they committed a crime better than the offender themselves. In order create preventive meassures be it treatment or whatever. One must deal with realities that contribute to behaviors and not text book assumptions. Education and Understanding must be a supportive factor in prevention
