They were less likely to school and swim along
with other tadpoles (a tadpole proxy for socialization, which is impaired in autism); they weren't as good at avoiding
contact with animated images projected on to the bottom of their petri dishes; they didn't habituate to startling noises (another analog to autism in
people); and induced seizures were more
frequent and shorter than in normal tadpoles.
In essence, it's about being professional and taking care, which means don't: agree to meet alone; allow over-familiarity; give out your personal mobile number; meet informally outside working hours and away from your organisation's premises (and certainly don't do so without getting formal approval); allow too
frequent contact or over familiarity that may be acceptable
with friends, colleagues and family but not from
people with whom you only have a commercial relationship; discuss your private life, or social or recreational interests of you or your partner; accept offers, discounts or
other services or products by the client, customer or contractor; accept hospitality or gifts that you yourself wouldn't pay for from your own pocket; and don't do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable, obligated or might be open to misinterpretation or might be difficult to explain to your manager, a journalist or an investigator.
The court is guided by the best interests of the child, and considers: the relationship of the child
with each parent and the ability and disposition of each parent to provide the child
with love, affection and guidance, the ability and disposition of each parent to assure that the child receives adequate food, clothing, medical care,
other material needs and a safe environment, the ability and disposition of each parent to meet the child's present and future developmental needs, the quality of the child's adjustment to the child's present housing, school and community and the potential effect of any change, the ability and disposition of each parent to foster a positive relationship and
frequent and continuing
contact with the
other parent, including physical
contact, except where
contact will result in harm to the child or to a parent, the quality of the child's relationship
with the primary care provider, if appropriate given the child's age and development, the relationship of the child
with any
other person who may significantly affect the child, the ability and disposition of the parents to communicate, cooperate
with each
other and make joint decisions concerning the children where parental rights and responsibilities are to be shared or divided, and any evidence of abuse.
