ROFLMAO

I love this statement.

I can't believe the parents allowed their daughter to weigh that much. Like someone else already said, not even full-grown adults should weigh that much. It's disgusting that these parents just sat back and gave their kid all that food.

I saw a story about her on TV and showed how she was confined to this air mattress because she couldn't walk or do anything... and while she was on the floor she was yelling to her mom: "Can you get me some popcorn?"

WTF!

However, I do know parents of PWS and what they were telling me, they found out at 6 months. The food hoarding behavior starts when they can access the food, meaning they have some level of learning where the food is... That's why the parents have to lock up the food.

I always got them mixed up too. It really sucks when one of your profs is one of the leading researchers in the disease. (Really really sucks!)

That has to be worse than reading the textbook written by your professor. I can't imagine what I'd do if one of my professors started citing him/herself. Ugh.

My sentiments exactly! In grad school, one of my professors wrote the textbook used for his class and it was awful. I got tired of hearing "for example." Those were the only words in the book. It was worthless and a waste of ~$100
