Seeking Female Pediatrician for 12-Yr-old Autistic-Spectrum Child

Hi, there! My daughter, whom we adopted from China when she was 10 months old, has a long list of psychological challenges, but we do our best to deal with those through specialized schooling, therapists, and medication. Right now, my question is a bit different. She menstruated regularly as clockwork for about a year (started early!) and then suddenly stopped. She has been 5 months without a period. My own OB-GYN can't see her, as a minor, and suggests she see her pediatrician. Problem is, I have come to LOATHE our pediatrician, who...

What Song Is My Pre-schooler Singing?

My son keeps singing a song he learned I think during MOPS the other day. I have noone to call in MOPS to ask what song this is. I was hoping you ladies could help me. Some of what he is singing is: "...Somebody step on me...." "....I'm a nut. (sound with tongue tock tock). I'm a nut (sound tock tock)" He keeps singing "I'm a nut! tock tock! I'm a nut! tock tock!" and it's driving me mad that I have no idea what he's singing. BTW - he doesn't say "tock" he makes a clicking noise with his tongue. Anyone know what this is?

Mac or PC?

Recently my Macbook went out on me, so I'm needing to get another computer. I'm looking at a desktop or laptop. I don't mind either one. My question to you is which do you prefer? PC or a Mac? I love my Mac. I grew up on them too. However, another one is a little out of my budget. Now, I do use Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator too. So should I look for a PC? But I sure do love using a Mac! Thoughts??
