If you want to find out what a word means, you go to the dictionary. But (as we've already established) there is no "the dictionary." Any idiot can publish a dictionary, or, since only an idiot would publish a dictionary nowadays, any idiot can make a dictionary website. Scan in a public domain Webster's and add a few modern words such as snark and chunder, and if you do a better job of concealing your tracks than say Urban Dictionary does, you are on equal footing with Funk and Wagnalls.
Upon this trembling foundation all our laws and contracts, not to say all our literature and conversation, rest. Language is an anarchic system; no one is in charge of it.
Of course, 60% of statements one hears or reads can be boiled down to "I'm in charge," so it's no surprise that many different people think they are in charge of language. There are many reasons why people might call dibs on telling you how to speak: They might want to make their lives easier or they might feel the cruel but omnipresent need to exercise control over you. If they think that language has a "right" way of being spoken, based on traditional rules of grammar, we tend to call them prescriptivists.
This distinction is most often applied to linguistics, although of course it can be extended to many fields of study: a descriptivist looks at language as it is and attempts to analyze and understand it; a prescriptivist looks towards language as it should be, and attempts to reform our wayward tongues.
Some people think a dictionary should be descriptive, and reflect the way people talk (and include, for example, the Chris Traeger definition of literally); some people think dictionaries should be prescriptive, and reflect a standard of English "at its best."
(I should stress that I'm speaking of English throughout. The French, to take one example, have laws that state that the government is in charge of their language, and the government has weapons and stuff; but things are different in other countries, including most English-speaking ones.)
I'd like to look more closely at this division, because I think things are much more complicated than we usually acknowledge (far more complicated than we have room for here, but I'll do what I can). One of the many paradoxes inherent in this dictionary model is that people who want the dictionary to be prescriptive are behaving descriptively: this is an accurate description of what dictionaries have traditionally been for, for hundreds of years now; while those who want the dictionary to be descriptive are behaving prescriptively: they are prescribing what a book should be in contradistinction to what it usually has been.
Academic linguists are both the most passionate supporters of description over perscription, and the most ardent in correcting anyone who calls a polyglot a "linguist."
If you have ever blanched at the Traeger literally or if you would say that prescription was misspelled in the previous paragraph, you are behaving prescriptively.
If a prescriptivist has ever corrected you for saying "ten items or less" and you rolled your eyes and replied, "Everyone says it that way, no one says 'ten items or fewer,'" you are behaving descriptively. It's probable that most of us have hedged our bets and have some money on each horse.
One problem is that a prescriptivist is prescribing towards a standard that is by necessity arbitrary (almost no one outside of the tinfoil-hatted neoneoplatonists believe language is not 99% arbitrary), and is therefore contentious. No two prescriptivists agree on which of the arbitrary rules must be followed. Most of our usage panel agree that splitting an infinitive is fine, but generations of Miss Grundys have objected.
I have a friend who scrupulously avoids ending sentences in prepositions, no matter how tangled the required syntax, but consistently confounds its and it's. I don't want to make the perfect the enemy of the good, but by my lights this is a flagrant misapplication of resources.
Another prescriptive problem is that language, unlike Augustine's Law, is custom, and custom changes. If you go by early twentieth-century etiquette books, the most vulgar word imaginable, the one that instantly makes you sound like an uncultured moron, is drapes (the modern equivalent would be irregardless). Fowler, in his Modern English Usage (1926), calls the words couch and close (verb) "genteelisms," and insists that non-pretentious people would say sofa and shut. I respect Fowler, and I am unhealthily obsessed with Emily Post, but none of this resonates with me in the least, and I would be hard pressed to find anyone who agreed that drapes and couch had class connotations.
Since thou speakest not thus, like Stan Lee's Thor, clearly language changes, and no prescriptivist demands our speech be the speech of Beowulf, let alone proto-Indo-European; but where to draw the line on acceptable change is always going to be controversial. Probably not one in ten native English speakers can spot the error in Winston's ad slogan, but in 1954 it was egregious enough to cause a sensation, and Walter Cronkite refused to say it on the air: not because it was a cigarette (Fred Flintstone hawked Winston to kids in those days) but because he categorically refused to use the preposition like as a subordinating conjunction. (Ogden Nash quipped: "Like goes Madison Avenue, like so goes the nation" to commemorate people's growing switch to a conjunctive like.) It may be as old-fashioned as our snobbery about drapes and our antisnobbery about couches, but the like/as distinction is still a bugbear of formal writing.
Rules are of course, easier to create than to obey, which is why we all spend our time trying to think of reasons why we're exempt (watch John Scalzi do it here). The most notorious example is the passive forbiddance of passive voice, which is alarmingly common, so I just selected one example at random, from Real World Document Drafting: A Dispute-Avoidance Approach by Marvin Garfinkle:
So much trouble, you may be muttering. Why not be descriptive and make an end of it?

DATE: Thursday, August 23, 2018
TIME: 12:00 Noon – 2:00pm
LOCATION: 2nd Floor Conference Room, 444 St. Mary Avenue, Winnipeg
TOPIC: New Model for Scheduling and Case Flow Management
SPEAKERS: Chief Justice Joyal and various members of the Implementation Committee
The Court of Queen's Bench Family Division will be introducing a New Model for Scheduling and Case Flow Management in respect of Non-Child Protection matters.
Subject to what may be ongoing modifications and refinements arising from the Court's internal discussions and outreach and interaction with the Bar, it is hoped that scheduling pursuant to this new scheduling model in the Family Division will commence in September 2018 to then be implemented and published in the circulated 2019 rotas.
These sessions are meant to be cumulative and build on one from the other. However, in addition to a general review of the model, any additional features, supplemented or tweaked, since the July 18th session will be reviewed. The August 23rd session will emphasize some of the practical aspects of what the model identifies as its five meaningful events. Additionally, the presentation and discussion will turn to what will be new and relevant forms and an initial discussion of connected rule changes.
The new model flows from recommendations coming from within the Court of Queen's Bench Family Division which recommendations follow from earlier conducted consultations with Family Division judges.
There are two objectives to the model:
1. The proposed New Case Flow and Scheduling Model is designed and will be implemented to ensure that all reasonable efforts are made to resolve and/or dispose of those family disputes that can be resolved and disposed of, as soon as possible, without the delays, complexity and costs associated with the current model of scheduling. It is believed that this objective can be realized with a greater emphasis and investment in judicial resources at the "front end" or "intake stage" where, under the New Model, following the much more consistent and closely-monitored screening process (where pre-conditions to triage must be met), a triage judge (and/or eventually, a case management judge) will be even better-positioned to take a more informed, active and interventionist approach with both counsel and the parties themselves.
2. Where matters cannot be resolved either earlier or at all, the New Model is designed to nonetheless ensure that those family proceedings flow through the system and receive the required adjudications within a reasonable, predictable and finite period of time. This objective will be realized by the setting of trial dates within 12-15 months of the first case conference, which case conference will normally be set within 30 days of the appearance at triage.
It should be understood that some of the approaches and practices contemplated in this model will require changes or adjustments in respect to some existing Queen's Bench Rules, practice directions, court forms and allocation of court resources. More specifically, some of those modifications and adjustments may involve Legal Aid Manitoba, Family Conciliation Services and the Master, to name but a few. Simply put, whatever must be updated and/or adjusted to make this model operational and successful will be attempted.
It would seem that both the Provincial and Federal Governments are, or will be, initiating fundamental changes to family law through legislation that has been, or will be, introduced. As explained in the attached document, the changes contemplated in this new case flow/scheduling model, are designed to provide a judicial service that can co-exist with any new set of practices or approaches introduced by either the Federal or Provincial Governments through new legislation.
The new model will require a new emphasis, vigilance and rigour on the part of both the Bench and the Bar. Accordingly, prior to the implementation of the model and indeed, prior to the commencement of the scheduling pursuant to the model (in the fall of 2018), purposeful efforts must be made to ensure an understanding of the nature of the model and how its "meaningful events" are designed to ensure that identifiable and predictable reference points occur at different stages during a finite period of time.
With the above in mind, three separate sessions have been scheduled for the purposes of both providing information to the profession about the new model and as well, receiving whatever feedback the profession wishes to provide. The final session with be provided with the specific purpose of discussing what will be new rules, practice directions and any corresponding and accompanying new court forms.
All of the sessions will accommodate some or limited in-person attendance in addition to participation by webinar.
One session has already taken place on July 18, 2018. In addition to the August 23, 2018 session, a third session has been scheduled for September 13, 2018. Notice for the September session will be sent out separately at a later date.
While it is anticipated and expected that members of the Bar from rural and northern Manitoba will participate in the above three dates, either in-person or by webinar, one or two additional sessions will also be specifically planned for those regions.
Please RSVP to the Manitoba Bar Association online (link above). Please indicate whether you will be attending in person or via webinar. Please note there is limited space for the in-person meeting, once the in-person spots have been filled, attendees will be prompted to attend via webinar.
If participating in person, lunch will be available. The MBA accepts VISA and MasterCard payments for lunch ($10.00), however you may pay by cash or cheque at the meeting by selecting the "cheque" option on the registration form.
If participating via webinar, you will need a laptop, PC, smartphone or tablet with an internet connection and sound to participate. Please RSVP (PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED) on-line (link above). You will receive log-in information after you have registered on Wednesday, August 22, 2018.

When To Treat Yourself To A Luxury Restroom Trailer
A luxury restroom trailer is a portable bathroom that doesn't sacrifice any of the comforts of the bathroom back home. These trailers contain toilets that fully flush and sinks with running water. The visual aesthetics of luxury restroom trailers are apparent as soon as you see one. They are clean, comfortable, and accommodating.
Luxury trailers are more comfortable to use than the portable stations you might find at a music festival or farmer's market. These trailers flush away any waste to a separate holding tank. Unpleasant scents are no longer an issue when compared with the other portable options.
Cleanliness, comfort, and sleek design are consistent features of these trailers. They are as impressive as they are delightful to use.
Luxury restroom trailers are great for many occasions. But how do you know when to choose between a portable toilet and a luxury trailer?
Ready to see your options for luxury restroom trailers Huntsville AL? Visit PBS Services today!
When Should I Get A Luxury Restroom Trailer?
There are plenty of instances where a luxury restroom trailer would make a difference in everyone's experience. Here are a few examples:
The restroom should be the last thing on your mind when the big day arrives. But you've spent so much time making sure every aspect of the day is perfect, why skimp on the restroom? Luxury restroom trailers provide all the relief you need without sacrificing the elegance you want. Your guests will thank you.
Do you have a crew of folks coming over for a birthday party? Grilling up some food and setting up the volleyball net means plenty of people will be outside. Avoid the confusion and dirt of inviting all of them inside to use the bathroom. A luxury restroom trailer is a perfect way to show your guests you care while also keeping your house tidy.
Graduation Parties
You or someone you love has made it through high school/college. Congratulations! Now comes the fun part: The celebration. Invite as many friends and family over as you want. Show them your appreciation by providing a high-quality restroom trailer. You don't want anyone feeling less than great when they're reaching for another slice of cake.
Luxury restroom trailers are perfect for Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, and any other holiday that brings a large group together. You won't want to walk too far from the grill to wash your hands or use the restroom. These portable trailers can be right where you need them when you need them there.
Work Functions
Showing your employees how much you appreciate them by throwing a bash in the park? These trailers will hammer your appreciation home. Live music, friends and family, and great food should be the focus of your guests' attention. Luxury trailers smooth out one possible source of confusion by providing the best service available.

In Chinese villages, people have their distinctive ways to celebrate the Spring Festival. Simple but joyful, the celebrations bring them gratification and happiness. Spring festival, or better known as Chinese Lunar New year, is the most important festival for all Chinese, which has a history of more than 4,000 years. It is an occasion for home returning, New Year goods preparing, celebrating, and foremost, family reunion. (Xinhua/Shi Panqi)

The Programme for Monitoring of the Greenland Ice Sheet (PROMICE) has measured ice-sheet elevation and thickness via repeat airborne surveys circumscribing the ice sheet at an average elevation of 1708 ± 5 m (Sørensen et al. 2018). We refer to this 5415 km survey as the 'PROMICE perimeter'. Here, we assess ice-sheet mass balance following the input-output approach of Andersen et al. (2015). We estimate ice-sheet output, or the ice discharge across the ice-sheet grounding line, by applying downstream corrections to the ice flux across the PROMICE perimeter. We subtract this ice discharge from ice-sheet input, or the area-integrated, ice sheet surface mass balance, estimated by a regional climate model. While Andersen et al. (2015) assessed ice-sheet mass balance in 2007 and 2011, this updated input-output assessment now estimates the annual sea-level rise contribution from eighteen sub-sectors of the Greenland ice sheet over the 1995–2015 period.

My Question is quite simple, this thing works under Linux?:

every adapter say "Windows 98/XP/Mac", but none say "work under Linux".
The main use is for my laptop (integrated keyboard sux). My Keyboard to plug is an Microsoft :oops: Natural.

As far as I know, adapters such as those do not need extra drivers or anything like that; if it's a ps/2 to usb adapter then the system/OS will see the device as a usb device, even at the lowest level.. hence it will work with any OS. The "for windows/mac" blurb is probably only a marketing device.
and also, a single usb port can support (theoretically) up to 127 devices, so your devices will work fine, as if they were two usb devices connected to a usb hub.
The windows/mac specs found on many such items seems to mean they have TESTED it on such systems and confirm it worked.
So if you use it under any other system, you're on your own.
NOTE : this is not as bad as it looks.
I currently use these items without problems under archlinux :
KVM switch
HP USB printer
TFT screen
All of them had only windows and mac in the specifications.
The umts-card was even specifically listed as NOT SUPPORTED under linux.
Offcourse the windows/mac software that came with the devices doesn't work, but that kind of software is often very bloated and i never missed it.
Multi-init booting with apg Openrc and systemd coexisting
Automounting : not needed, i prefer pmount
Aur helpers : makepkg + my own local repo === rarely need them
Oh, of course. But I was referring specifically to the devices that luisrobles linked to. Is a ps/2-usb adapter not transparent to the system, so that it wouldn't matter whatever OS is used--the device(s) is simply detected as a usb device..?

I am pleased to have an opportunity to raise this issue. I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Kathleen Lynch, for her attendance and her record in contributing to mental health awareness and suicide prevention during the lifetime of this Government. Over the past 25 years, there have been many changes in how we address the issue of suicide in Ireland. Suicide was decriminalised in 1993 after I had brought three Private Members' Bills to the Seanad. The publication of the report of the national task force on suicide in 1998 was followed by the national strategy for action on suicide prevention, Reach Out, which covered the period from 2005 to 2014. These reports, along with the more recent Connecting for Life strategy, have contributed to our knowledge and understanding of suicide. I hope this will lead to a reduction in suicide levels and an improvement in the supports provided to those who are suicidal and those who have been bereaved by suicide.
Over many years, community groups have been working to support people in crisis and to reduce the suicide rates in their communities. Some of these groups operate on a national basis and support communities through local branches. Other groups were set up in response to local tragedies. Regardless of the size and structure of these groups, all of them make an invaluable contribution to reducing the risk of suicide in Ireland. It has been established that as many as 250 or 300 groups provide support to those who are at risk of suicide. The truth is that we do not know the actual figure because the sector is fragmented, with many groups working in isolation. Parts of the country are over-subscribed with support organisations, while gaps in support services exist in other parts of the country. Over the past 25 years, national and regional forums and networks have been established to share information and provide support to one another in the work they do. If we are to tackle this issue, we need to take the next step in developing our response to suicide prevention. We can do this by pulling together the collective knowledge of all the groups working in the sector and by creating a national forum into which regional networks can make an input and from which such networks can learn.
In 2013, the Irish Association of Suicidology invited the University of Ulster to draw up a report on the establishment of an accreditation model for groups working in suicide prevention. This was supported by the National Office for Suicide Prevention. The aim of the establishment of such a model would be to create a sector that can offer an improved response to those who require the services of voluntary organisations, to ensure voluntary suicide prevention groups look after their volunteers and staff and to create a forum in which experience, innovation, knowledge and the mistakes made by the voluntary sector can be shared. The idea of accreditation is not new. The American Association of Suicidology has had such a model in place since 1976. It has been talked about in Ireland since 2007. It is proposed to allow the sector to develop its own model, rather than having a model imposed on it by the State. Under the model that is proposed, the sector sets standards based on best practice within their own organisations. Groups are encouraged and supported to reach the standards they have set. With the Minister's support, funding to develop this model and commence work was agreed with the National Office for Suicide Prevention.
In March 2011, a small group of organisations working in the area of suicide prevention and operating accreditation models were consulted to see if and how the accreditation model could work in the suicide prevention sector. Over 100 organisations that provide suicide prevention services were consulted. The outcome of both consultations endorsed the need for such a model and emphasised the importance of the model being developed and run by the sector itself. There is no quick solution when such a model is being developed. The suicide prevention sector, like any other sector, has its own particular nuances that need to be addressed by the model being put in place. The development of this model will take approximately a year. A further two years will be required to allow groups to make the transition from their current operating practices to the accredited model. The benefits for service users and groups will reward the effort and time that will have to be put in over a period of three years. We envisage that the accreditation model will advise, support and assist established groups and those that will get involved in this area in years to come. This is happening on an ongoing basis. Best practice is to be advised when suicide prevention organisations are being set up and operated. This is in the interests of ensuring maximum assistance can be provided at local and national levels to voluntary organisations that seek to prevent suicide, to create an understanding of the issues around suicide and mental ill-health and, of course, to assist the suicidal and advise the bereaved on how to deal with these tragic cases.

Life for this Scout doesn't get any butter than this!
Written by Laurie G.
"Ever since I can remember my son Gabriel who is a Cub Scout in Pack 679 in Mission Viejo has wanted to be a fighter fighter. His room is decorated in fire fighter memorabilia and painted in Fire Red.
As popcorn season approached we had lots of conversations about what we would learn while we were selling popcorn. Looking people in the eye, talking about all of the fun things that we do in Cub Scouts, learning to make change, handling a turn down gracefully by saying 'thank you' whether a person buys or not are all important life lessons that our Scouts learn.
I am so grateful for the people who take the time to talk to our Scouts during storefront popcorn sales and recount either their own or their child's fond memories of the pinewood derby, camping or fishing with their den.
We were almost done with our sales when all of a sudden Gabriel's real life hero's a truck of firefighters showed up to do some grocery shopping. They took the time to recall their own time in Scouting when they were kids and gave Gabriel some pointers such as speaking loudly and clearly and having a presence when he joins the ranks of firefighters one day!!! They told him that he will start to learn the skills he needs today in Cub scouting! They bought a bag of White Cheddar Cheese for their firehouse to share."

Conservative-controlled Wandsworth council is planning to charge children £2.50 each to use Battersea Park adventure playground at weekends, reports Shamik Das.
Conservative-controlled Wandsworth council is planning to charge children £2.50 each to use Battersea Park adventure playground at weekends. If the pilot is successful, it will be extended to weekdays in the school holidays.
Tonight, Tory cabinet member for Education and Children's Services Kathy Tracey defended the plans – while admitting it won't actually generate any money.
She told BBC London Radio:
"[It is] not budget saving, just a pilot to see if it affects usage… We have lowest rates in country – we have three adventure playgrounds and one of only authorities that do, we have invested £3 million in parks and playgrounds, battersea park has 3m visitors a year…
"Only because there hasn't been a charge before. We aren't charging people to go to the park. This is a separate facility that some children decided to go to."
Debating her, Labour's Leonie Cooper said:
"I find it astonishing that anyone come on London radio and make comments that Kathy Tracey has. Why on earth should we implement a charge for playgrounds? All that will happen is people who can't afford they won't go to the park. Wandsworth makes a lot of money already from charging clubs…
"The only way they can collect the charge is to introduce another member of staff to collect charges; it isn't going to generate income and people outside borough who can afford it will come but Wandsworth residents won't come because they can't afford it."
Eddie Lister, leader of Wandsworth council, was recently appointed by London Mayor Boris Johnson as his chief of staff – a point seized upon by Cooper. She added:
"This is a pilot and if it works then Wandsworth council wants to extend it and Eddie Lister has just been appointed by Boris Johnson as his chief of staff and I worry this could be pushed through in other parts of London by the Conservatives; you need to be prepared for this in other parts of London.
"We need play areas for our kids across London which are free and is wrong to have areas just for rich people."
In November 2009, Left Foot Forward reported how Lister had urged Tory councils to "increase charges as far as possible beyond inflation" and that fees should be used on a "trial and error approach" to test just how much residents will bear.
Earlier today, Labour's candidate for London Mayor Ken Livingstone criticised the plans, saying:
"Only the Conservative Party could consider charging kids to play. I believe London's parks and playgrounds should be free for London's families and I am deeply concerned at this attempt by the Conservatives to turn publicly funded playgrounds into areas which only the rich and privileged can enjoy.
"This appalling proposal will reinforce fears that the outgoing leader of Wandsworth Council, Eddie Lister is set to drive through a hard-right agenda at City Hall in his new role as Boris Johnson's chief of staff."
The plans are likely to further de-level the sporting playing field between the rich and the not-so-rich, cooping poor kids indoors while their well-off counterparts play and have fun to their hearts' content. As the Guardian's David Conn wrote during the school sports debate last autumn:
"On the day of the spending review last month, Michael Gove, the education secretary, announced he was scrapping the plan to improve sport in schools.
"The schools, of course, are not private, like those attended by Gove (Robert Gordon's), culture secretary Jeremy Hunt (Charterhouse), sports minister Hugh Robertson (King's, Canterbury) – or the prime minister, David Cameron, whose alma mater, Eton, offers 12 squash courts, 20 tennis courts, an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, four cricket fields, a nine-hole golf course, and rowing on the lake that will host the 2012 Olympics."
A point reiterated by former England Test batsman Ed Smith in the Times:
"Top independent schools have spent massively on sports facilities. Even as a former professional cricketer, I'm dazzled – perhaps shocked – by their luxurious swimming pools and perfectly mown outfields. Some schools resemble five-star golf resorts. Many private schools have pitches fit for Olympians…
"The proportion of British Olympic medallists who are privately educated has grown steadily over the past three Olympics to about 45 per cent. The trend is the same in rugby and cricket: more private-school England players, fewer State-school ones.
"If we could map social mobility within professional sport, it would show a clear downward trajectory. You would expect sport to be a model of meritocracy. It isn't."
All in it together? Pull the other one.
As you're here, we have something to ask you. What we do here to deliver real news is more important than ever. But there's a problem: we need readers like you to chip in to help us survive. We deliver progressive, independent media, that challenges the right's hateful rhetoric. Together we can find the stories that get lost.
We're not bankrolled by billionaire donors, but rely on readers chipping in whatever they can afford to protect our independence. What we do isn't free, and we run on a shoestring. Can you help by chipping in as little as £1 a week to help us survive? Whatever you can donate, we're so grateful - and we will ensure your money goes as far as possible to deliver hard-hitting news.

Dear visitor
This site uses cookies for an optimal browsing experience. By continuing to browse the site you are agreeing to this use of cookies.
How can we say something about the future through the lens of the past? Michiel Vandevelde examines the recent history of western modern and contemporary dance, from Isadora Duncan to Anna Halprin. In five speculative acts about the past from the future, the present is inevitably reflected upon. This way, choreography becomes a form of science-fiction.
How can dance, choreography, performance, and architecture create a new kind of space together? During Performatik19, choreographer and Kaaitheater artist-in-residence Radouan Mriziga will install a residency project at KANAL – Centre Pompidou. He is inviting dance and architecture students to share their knowledge and practice.
Due to productional reasons, this performance is postponed.
The vocal ensemble HYOID and artist-in-residence at Kaaitheater Benjamin Vandewalle are adapting Indianerlieder (1972) by Karlheinz Stockhausen, an iconic but rarely performed work. They are creating a gesamtkunstwerk that aims to reveal the vitality and timelessness of Stockhausen's music. They are abandoning the original scenography in order to place the audience at the very centre of the three-dimensional ritual.
One loves jumpstyle and toilet humour, another loves ballet and self-written love songs, while the third loves to observe the world through his camera lens and is secretly an accomplished beatboxer. If it weren't for this production, these three probably never would have met, but it is their love of dance that has brought them together here.
Flanked by two clumsy assistants, artist-in-residence Kate McIntosh stands on the stage as a high priestess in a glittering gown. During a kind of revue, they passionately devote themselves to a series of household experiments. Dark Matter is an extremely funny production that simultaneously evokes a sense of ominousness.
In In Many Hands, artist-in-residence Kate McIntosh explores tactility. She invites you to test and to touch, but also to listen and to smell. Along with other visitors, but without speaking, you will experiment with materials in a series of sensorial 'situations'. In Many Hands is part laboratory, part expedition, part meditation: follow your nose and your curiosity!

When we walked out of the doctor's office that morning, it felt like we had walked off of a plane at an unexpected layover on foreign soil.
The world looked differed here.
The air felt heavy and my husband seemed fine…like he knew where we were. Maybe because he's been here before with his son. But this time, there was no connecting flight back to our old lives.
It feels like we just stayed here and started our new lives, so welcome to Autism Island and wherever your journey may lead you.
In my time here, I've learned that no two autism journeys are the same—even when you have two. But the first day you receive that official diagnoses, you may go through denial.
You may research and convince yourself that none of those descriptions relate to your child. That you don't belong here. That they can't possibly have this. That what they do is so common.
Sometimes. Maybe.
You forget exactly what traits stood out the most and you doubt everything.
This is common.
You may continue to remain in disbelief when you convince yourself that this can be cured, especially when you dissect everything that has ever happened to you and your child from pregnancy to food.
You may even convince yourself that an organic diet or regiment of vitamins will cure it because some blog claims this happened.
You may even visit a psychic or witch doctor and spend hundreds of dollars on conspiracy remedies.
You'll probably find yourself researching all of the ways to help your child be that one in a million falsely diagnosed kid who gets cured by a scalp massage and a heavy metal detox. But most likely, they won't be cured and you will be left with a lot less money. And trust me, you're going to have less money because autism is expensive.
It's not part of your financial plan nor was it part of anyone's financial plan.
Autism impacts your entire life in different ways depending on your individual child. It can range from what therapies they need, specialists, child care and your ability to work. But you're going to figure it out.
For me, it felt like having to start over someplace new and from scratch.
It may take months to accept the diagnoses. Months to grieve the child you wanted and even years to accept the child you have. But once you accept the diagnoses, the most important thing is to keep moving forward.
One of the most devastating parts of this journey is the isolation.
I have written a lot about it on my blog because it is real. I think some of us expect empathy and support from family and friends but what surprised me the most was how opposite that is.
For some of us, we have to start our journey alone.
I hope your story is different. But if it is not, you are not alone.
My advice is to get on board and leave behind anyone who does not support your child, their diagnoses or the changes you need to make in your life to benefit your child.
It could be anyone from parents to siblings, therapists, and friends that try to keep you living in denial. These people will become toxic to your child and your sanity.
Not every family is going to come around and embrace your child like the fictional Braverman's on The Parenthood.
Chances are, you have seen more than one specialist that has evaluated your child and the people in your life are most likely not medical doctors that focus in developmental pediatrics to be disagreeing with a diagnosis or making you feel guilty about it. This is the hardest part.
It is the most disappointing part because sometimes it is people you least expect who react unexpectedly.
I wish I had known this early on because maybe I would have been emotionally prepared for it (if that's even possible). But that's okay.
You are going to find your people. There are many of us out here who understand.
People who won't judge you.
Once you have gone through the stages of accepting your child's diagnoses, you can't afford to go backward. You can't let people fill you with doubt because you need to be strong. I wish I could say that Autism comes with a welcome wagon but it comes with a fight.
Fighting for services, fighting for appropriate education, and basically fighting for your child to be included in everyday parts of life and other things that typical families don't have to fight for.
As you navigate your child's needs and decide on therapy, education, and how you are going to parent, consider your child's happiness and that success might not mean changing them to be like their peers.
Modifying behaviors and socialization may be crucial to their success but they are going to be different. This we cannot change.
Your child is their own person. Embrace their strengths.
Don't compare them to peers or siblings, even if they have autism too. Every child is their own person and will advance at their own rate. Sometimes you will need to visit your child in their world instead of forcing them into ours.
Even if it is not your thing, join a support group and connect with other parents who are accepting and understand your journey even if it is an online community. Other parents are going to keep you strong and lift you back up into the world and off of this island.
When you get back, you will be ready to advocate for your child and their inclusion in the world–whatever that may mean for your individual family.
Whatever you do, try not to look back at your old life and what could have been. Try not to worry what currently is will always be.
Look into the future and strive for what can be and don't give up on your child, ever.
They will surprise you and bring you joy, even though it wasn't in the way you expected.

Sure it isn't packed tightly, but that's part of the problem.
So the new semester started yesterday. Third term of this year, and it's already sub-par like all that came before it. Patterns and Frameworks in mostly theoretical, and with Software Architecture we're apparently passing up on the big chunk of stuff in the middle that's actually about programming software. Instead, we'll be spending this term looking at the beginning and end of the process in its entirety. Which is fucking stupid because we barely have any practical knowledge to apply what we're learning to. Project number seven will involve actual programming again, I'm assuming there'll be some issues, people struggling with that.
And of course we got a new schedule. I'd say it's about as bad as the previous one, maybe even a tad worse. Up early on Mondays and Fridays, at school 'til 5:30 PM on Thursdays. Wednesdays are reserved for the project and we got nothing on Tuesdays. It really isn't a trip to hell, but I wouldn't call it a walk in the park either. Then again, I'm probably too spoiled from all the good and easy schedules we had earlier. I know people who got it much worse, that helps put things into perspective.
I really wanted to go to bed early today, what with having to get up at 6 in the morning tomorrow. But just when I'm about to wrap this post up my sis goes in for her evening shower. Might as well get some popcorn, I can finish a movie before she's out of there. There go my eight hours of sleep a night… again.
Most people would resort to snorting caffeine. Me? I flex my smile muscles and move on. (Also, 1111th post. Woo!)

MarketInvoice, the invoice financing company, announced Thursday (Aug. 17) that it is providing more than 400,000 smaller businesses (SMBs) with access to its invoice discounting service, which, in the past, was reserved only for larger enterprises.
In a blog post announcing the news, the invoice financing company said that it has inked a strategic alliance with credit management specialists Veritas Commercial Services in which SMBs with a turnover of just £300,000, who adopt their credit control add-on, can use MarketInvoice Pro, which provides an open lending line against all their outstanding invoices.
Prior to this announcement, businesses required a turnover of £1 million for the small business lending service, the company said. "Invoice finance helps to bridge long payments terms and credit control prevents late payment, all with aim of improving a business' working capital cycle," said Anil Stocker, CEO and co-founder, at MarketInvoice. "The strategic alliance with Veritas will enable us to support a broader range of businesses across the U.K. We are excited to be helping even more businesses take charge of their cash flow and not let a lack of funding get in the way of the growth."
The Veritas Commercial Services' virtual credit control solution is aimed at helping U.K. businesses speed up their working capital cycle and manage their outstanding invoices collection process, which in turn helps them get paid on time. The alliance will also enhance the data available to MarketInvoice's risk model, allowing smaller businesses access to working capital at better rates, the company said.
"The strategic alliance with MarketInvoice is very exciting. As a result, more small, growing businesses will now be able to benefit from a fully integrated invoice finance facility and credit management service that puts them firmly in control," said Jenny Oldfield, CEO at Veritas Commercial Services, in the same blog post. "The powerful combination of technology and talent from both our organizations brings tangible advantages to SMEs, harnessing cutting-edge cloud solutions and deep expertise to drive improved cash flow and working capital. This, in turn, accelerates the flow of liquidity into the U.K. economy."
The How We Shop Report, a PYMNTS collaboration with PayPal, aims to understand how consumers of all ages and incomes are shifting to shopping and paying online in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our research builds on a series of studies conducted since March, surveying more than 16,000 consumers on how their shopping habits and payments preferences are changing as the crisis continues. This report focuses on our latest survey of 2,163 respondents and examines how their increased appetite for online commerce and digital touchless methods, such as QR codes, contactless cards and digital wallets, is poised to shape the post-pandemic economy.
