"Christopher, 15, has Aspergers Syndrome. Read this book and you'll misunderstand the world like him. He understands maths and science but can't get his logical mind around the science of human beings. He doesn't understand many emotions and he hasn't got the grasp of why people do what they do." I read the book. But that time I had no idea what this disorder was so I didn't understand the character very well. But now that I have a little idea about this disorder I understand why he was acting different.

""People with Asperger's have a special ability to remember a particular event in a detailed manner. But they don't understand the social context of the situation," says Dr Rajendra Barve, psychologist. " This stood out for me because we can't remember things in details the next day. But they can remember things clearly.

There is currently no cure. The disease is caused by gene mutations that disrupt production of the protein prelamin A, found inside the nuclei of cells. The damaged prelamin A binds to molecular fragments in the body called farnesyls, which then bind to the nuclear membrane, causing the build-up of protein that underlies the disease. The quote basically says that the disease had no cure yet and it is caused by gens mutation. It also says how but i don't fully understand it.

Right now we are listening to a podcast. The podcaster is talking about himself. The podcast is about a guy who is undocumented and its his struggle in college. One quote that stood out for me was "whole family plays music on the stage." This stood out for me because it shows that he has a close family and they are there for each other. Another quote that stood out for me was " The whole college proses was very frustrating" I understand him because I am also going through this college proses and it is very confusing at times. Also stressful because everything has to be right. I admire Sam because With all the obstetrical in his life he still going to college and getting an education. It is great that his family is supporting him.

I'm learning more about dissociative identity disorder or DID also known as multiple personality disorder or MPD right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is what causes DID and is there a was cure this disorder. I was researching this question online, and this news item caught my attention because the article had a lot of information about the dis order and it was an interesting article. Treatment may vary, but the general consensus involves steps of psychotherapy. Firstly, the therapist should foster an attitude of respect of each personality for each other. Secondly, a therapist should establish meaningful conversation with as many personalities as possible without siding with any one of them. Lastly, the therapist should help the personalities to merge together to become one complete integrated personality (Howe, 1984). Dissociative identity disorder does not cure itself, thus treatment is extremely important. The quote I chose here is basically saying how a therapist should start treatment with a DID patient. The steps of each treatment and also that DID doesn't cure itself and it needs treatment.

I'm learning more about multiple personality right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is what cause multiple personality and is there a way to over come multiple personality disorder. I was researching this question online, and this blog post caught my attention because the blog post was about this book"Switching Time" by Dr. Richard Baer. The book is about a girl who has multiple personality disorder, she had 17 personalities. People who suffer from Multiple Personality Disorder or MPD, have normally suffered something tragic in their lives that cause them to split mentally in order to protect themselves. Don't we all do that when we are in stressful situations? We become someone who we aren't, sometimes only momentarily, but for a brief moment we don't even recognize ourselves. The difference is we are aware of this behavior when it happens, but what if we were suddenly forced into extreme situations repeatedly - how would we handle it? The quote I chose here is basically saying that MPD happens to people that go through something tragic in their lives. And to protect themselves their mind splits. It also says how we all do that sometimes but the difference is we know it and MPD patients don' t. When we change that's intentionally but MPD patients don't get a choice they just have it and they have to deal with the disorder.

The mental illness took hold when he was about 25. Sheila remembers the day Wallace was splashing buckets of water on the family home, convinced that the gas company was shooting radiation at the windows. Its so sad when people start to think that they are not safe in their own home. This reminds me of a movie I watched where the girl had schizophrenia and she didn't trust anyone around her.

Its sad who no one really knows why this happens. Also it can happen ti anyone for any reason.

Children, especially, have become hidden casualties, often absorbing more than their parents are fully aware of. Several academic studies have linked parental job loss - especially that of fathers - to adverse impacts in areas like school performance and self-esteem.

The three planets that were just discovered all have one thing in common. They are all much bigger than Earth, but small enough to potentially have rocky surfaces, and they all orbit just a single star, like Earth. WOW! That's amazing. Three other planets that are like earth that's kinda surprising to me because its so new and the idea of maybe people living there. And we had no idea about this. It would be like those scientific movies I guess pretty cool.

This is pretty interesting to be because imagine they find a way to plant trees & flowers in mars and they actually survive. Then people might be able to live there too. That would be pretty awesome.
