Well RooRehab, you're an overachiever then. Most people don't get this way until they're over 30!

By the way, when I was a kid, I was taught that a "quarter" was 25 cents. Then they teach me the face of a clock and say a quarter is 15 minutes.
What the heck was THAT all about!? Hello - fractions aren't taught until 6th grade!

Wow, a REAL honest-to-good use for Botox! I wonder if Jenny's doctors have tried that. They mostly give her anti-spasmotic pills.
Remarkably enough she has a very high tolerance for pain, I mean, she can take levels of pain that would make a grown man cry.
She indicates her "comfort level" by shifting her eyeballs right or left for yes or no.

Do you have a high tolerance for pain?

Yeah, the botox helps. The muscles are are in a permanently spasmotic state, so my feet curve like bananas. The botox loosens the muscles so they can be worked into a correct state. After they are in a correct state, they get casted. My pain tolerance can be high sometimes, and dive other times. The Graston Technique (look it up) brings me to my knees.

I will. I have to leave my office now, but I will Google it at home or tomorrow morning.

I looked up the Graston Technique. I understand why it is painful for you! But, I'd imagine you feel better afterwards if it works as well as it says.

Alot of people don't know what Asperberger's is. You may explain it better than I. My boss's son has it and has a difficult time with anger and math difficulties too. I understand it to be a form of Autism - is that correct?

I am a RPN... I also work as a PSW in a few group homes for adults with disabilities. They range from CP to Downs Syndrome, FAS. ect.... I have some residents with CP that we need to feed and are totally dependent on our care but they hold a job because there is nothing wrong with their intellectual abilities. I also have some with CP that have the levels of a 10 yr old. I have one with spastic cp who is at the level of a 4 yr old...

I have also worked in the homes of children who still live with their families with varying degrees of disabilities

Yr in good hands with us...

A extremely mild form, also known as the Little Professor Syndrome. We (Little Professors or LP's) often have extremely high IQ's, but deep set neurosis's and anger management problems. I consider it a form of savantism. Best I can do for a definition.
