He's always been very supportive. Between us, me and leon have had

serious health problems. is always there for me to talk to on the

phone, and if there's an emergency he'll travel up. He's a good, steady

guy. He's not diabetic - yet! His father had diabetes.

was 'supportive' enough when I experimented on his blood! I

simply couldn't get my head round the diagnosis. I blamed everything

for being wrong, even the glucose monitor. So we both tested our sugar

levels. His was 110. Then we drank 500 ml Lucozade. An hour later, he

was back at 110. Mine had gone from 102 to 180! It was the first time

it really hit home. Maybe some guys wouldn't let you do that.

Jaquelyn,

Thank you so much for inviting me to your group. Your book has been a

lifesaver to me and my family. I have two autistic boys and I have

read your book 3 times. I get more and more out of it every time I

read it. I have bought one for all of my family, so that they will

know what my children are going through. You are an inspiration to

all parents of autistic children. THANKS AGAIN!!!

I have meant for a few days now to thank all the moderators for the effort they

put into this group. I believe it is one of the best groups of it's kind that I

have been involved in.

We have a great group of people who are willing to talk about and share their

experiences in the hope of helping others. That gift of sharing their lives -

both the good and bad - is special.

Finding new ideas for themselves and not sitting home having a pity party is a

positive side effect. I hate it when I hit send and remember that I forgot to

change the title or delete the unnecessary

parts of the post I am responding to. Thank you for all that you do ; )

What I would like to know is how a histeric personnality is born? Why she needs so much to be listen, why she doesn't feel loved, why she needs to cry to call for attetion, what is right way to manage this, any history, myth, that tell a little bit about this so I can learn more?
