It is possible to join using Pay Pal (which you can do with a bank card and not a credit card) if that helps. I have continued to supply the same service of information for free as I always have - weekly articles and a monthly newsletter as I am aware that some people (for whatever reason) will not join the new site. The new site is an addition and due to the sheer time, effort and expense in running this new site it is not possible to run it for free. I have endeavored to keep it at a low manageable monthly cost. Take Care Dave Angel Hi Michelle – I am genuinely sorry that your are disappointed by the new site.

I have been reading your articles faithfully for almost three years now and have purchased your email books on line, that I have found excellent. You really understand what the challenges are for familys with an asperger child in it. But you see I do not own a credit card, this makes it impossible for me and others like me to join in the community. I believed you had this help line to inform and educate not to profit. I understand everyone needs to make money to survive but I believed it was on your books and publications. I am a grandmother of a seven year old aspergers boy, who's mother denies he has it, even though he has been diagnosed twice. The information I received from your books and newsletters helped us all,by myself implimenting some of the techniques used by yourself and others. Now I cannot get all the information. I feel cheated and hurt. Thank you for your dedication, and I will continue to read the newsletters as they arrive, even though now it is only part of the education. Sincerely Michelle Cennon Prince Albert, Saskatchewan Canada Dear Dave

Never diagnosed with Aspergers, but Bipolar. No, it is not. He has moods which were and are brought on by his inability to cope socialy. He has no friends so spends almost all of his days in his room. How do I talk to the 36 year old? How do I change his way of thinking and life? Is there any hope? Is there any way to help him? BTW he has MA in Physics from Dartmouth. This he could do,but life is to overwhelming. My son is 36. Never diagnosed with Aspergers, but Bipolar. No, it is not.

(hides in food under 30 different names: google it. (Glutamate is in every live virus shot) Motivating me was hard as a kid because I was so tired and lacking in stress endurance. I cut corners anywhere I could and hygene, neatness and proof reading my work were low priority. I was just trying to get thru the day! Melt downs also often due to adrenal fatigue. Heavy metal poisoning doesn't just disrupt oxytocin. It disrupts the entire endocrine system. I was hypothyroid both T4 and T3 so I needed both not just synthyroid. I needed something like Armour or compounded specially). I also have adrenal fatigue which most doctors know nothing about though it is a major cause of chronic fatigue, melt downs, tachycardia from thyroid meds & need for solitute. Good group to join is the yahoo group naturalthyroidhormonesadrenals. With a body temp of 97.5 I was like an over chilled reptile, too sluggish to think & stayed that ways for hours after a bath or shower. (made sleeping even harder). So very little motivation. Also very dizzy standing up with eyes closed, making showering VERY scary. Sitting down is ok and that is how I shower now.I also have sleep apnea and nonwheezing type asthma. It had no symptoms other than it made it impossible to sleep due to it being hard to breath without any tell tale wheezing. Took me years to get health problems sorted out. All doctors saw was the autism and would not run tests when I said I did not feel well and was exhausted. Neurotypicals would have had help much sooner. Some evidence hypothyroid mothers have autistic children so some of our brain damage may be in the womb due to mother's problems though again heavy metal poisoning could account for both.
