Where the heck have I been

Ok so I haven’t posted here in a while. All I have is excuses. Lack of topics seems to be among the highest. I don’t want to be a one pony show. Beating a dead horse is no fun for me.

So what have I been doing. Mostly listening to podcasts and reading the science news. Nothing much has tickled my fancy to post about. As I said I don’t what to type cast into one topic.

Now that I’m back online I hopre to type about anything that comes to my mind. Apologies for lack of posts and drop me a line if you wish me to talk about anything.

Detecting Autism Early

“The earlier you treat a child for autism, the more of an impact you can have on that child’s future,” Sally Ozonoff

The average age for children to be diagnosed with autism is three. By then language and social delays make the doctors assessment easy but the therapists job is harder. The kids have to break bad habits and re-learn skills that can take an effort. So the earlier we can detect the disorder the better.

Parents of children with autism have long suspected there was a way to know their child was different. Now researchers agree and are developing tests to help these kids. Turns out if you watch closely to how they play there are clues.

Children all play differently but if they have autism they are more likely to spin and rotate items they play with. Seem they also explore objects by looking at them sideways.

These little hints are what parents notice but don’t really give then the credit due. Researchers have found neurotypical children seldom do these things. So it is a major clue to help in detecting autism early.

If you suspect your child has autism try to see if they have these signs then talk to your doctor about it.

How to win an arguement with me.

First, pick your battles. Is it really that important that I prove you wrong? Do you really want to lose?

Second, know your subject matter. Once you learn the facts you will see that I’m right and we can both win the arguement.

Third, know when to admit you’ve lost. To err is human and the sooner you realize you are human the better.

Fourth, learn from your mistakes. You know you’ve been wrong before. What makes you so sure you are correct now? In fact given number three above it seems most likely you are not.

And last, just admit I’m right. Being correct is what I do most. Why not just admit it?

Remote test

This is a test of my remote blogging capability.
Had this been an actual blogg you would be scared.
Please continue your browsing till I have more to say.
Note the date. That’s awsome I’m posting in the future.

Welcome to my strange little world!

I don’t know if I’ll be writing anything coherent but I’ll throw down my idea of the moment.

Usually I have lots going on in my head and when I’m not on the internet I’m sleeping.

Sleep is overratted and my connection withdraw symptoms seem to need more feeding.

As a warning I may break out in 1337 or Haiku at any moment. My favourite topics are Sceince and Science. 

If you have a topic to throw at me just leave a comment.
