I was currently diagnosed with aspergers syndrome.What could i do to minimize it?
Im 19 years old and need a job but with my condition its impossible.I live near hillside,Illinois and want to know where could i find a job to work where they could accept me with aspergers syndrome.
You should ask your doctor about Cymbalta. It could help with general anxiety and the depression that most Aspies deal with.

You could also try to be as social as you can. I know how hard this is for Aspies but it will help combat the loneliness. Friends, family or even a church or hobby club can provide the sense of belonging and acceptance everyone needs.  (+ info)

What career could i get that helps people with down syndrome?

---

I had an epiphany today. After seeing a little girl give me her hand to shake it at church, i realized i want to work with kids who have down syndrome. Could i work at centers that take care of these kids? Any suggestions?
You can work as a teacher in special education. You can get into speech pathology. You can work in occupational therapy. You could work with the older DS population and get into group homes and community specialist situations, where you would either do direct care of individuals or bring them out for community involvement, (grocery shopping, tee ball, church).

Or, you could adopt a baby with DS. It takes a special person. That might be you!  (+ info)

How do I prevent my prolonged QT syndrome from getting any worse?

---

I am a 14 year old girl who has just recently been diagnosed with prolonged QT syndrome. I have been recovering from Anorexia and Bulimia, which has caused this syndrome. Many people in y direct family have weak hearts and have gone into Cardiac Arrest. I do not know how how the medication is going to work on me and have not begun treatment yet. My doctors are seriously considering a Defibrillator. Should I get other ideas before this? Is there anything else i can do?
It never hurts to get a second opinion. You don't mention which medication you haven't started yet. Whatever it is, I say, try it and see, but trust the opinion of your doctors. If they are considering a defibrillator, go with that. It can and will save your life. And you know that you HAVE to give up anorexia and bulimia, don't you. Is this the treatment you mention? If you are at the point of needing a defibrillator, your heart will absolutely NOT be able to endure ANY more anorexia or bulimia. You'll die if you indulge anymore. You do get that don't you. Your doctors are trying to save your life. I want you to let them. And good luck to you.  (+ info)

What is the genotype of cri du chat syndrome?

---

What are the possible genotypes of the parents that have children with cri du chat syndrome? Or what are the genotypes of the children with cri du chat syndrome?
um... its a chromosome 5p deletion that causes all the problems. It would be noted as
"46, XX (XY if male) 5p-" in the child. This disease doesn't follow a Mendallion inheritance pattern. It occurs due to random mutations. And the child usually don't have offspring of their own. if you have more questions please ask, hope that helps.

P.S. I expect a 16 yr old to know what Mendallion inheritance is because my 16 year old sister knows. In fact, she reminded me of his name.  (+ info)
