ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) — Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Gerry and it's about haircuts. Here's his email: Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. I'm having a bit of a problem. I have always loved my wife’s long hair, so when she decided to cut it all off without telling me, I was shocked. She came home from getting it cut and asked me if I liked it and I lied and told her I did. But I don’t. I actually hate it and think it makes her look less attractive. I know I'm acting differently towards her, and she keeps asking me if I'm mad about something, and I keep saying no. But I know eventually I'm going to have to say something. How can I tell her now that I preferred her hair long and that I don’t like her new look? Hope you can help me out. Thanks.~ Gerry 5/5/2023: Just a couple pop-up showers Well, I'm a believer that looks are far from everything. I think Gerry should hold off and give his wife's new haircut...

Ask Amy: A new diagnosis inspires important questions

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:36:11 GMT

Dear Amy: I am a 45-year-old woman who was just diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum.I never suspected I might be autistic until last year, when a friend discovered that she was autistic and sent me some articles about the non-stereotypical ways autism can present itself in women.After going through the professional evaluation process and learning more about autism, I am almost certain that both my older sister and my 80-year-old mother are on the spectrum, too.Should I tell them about my diagnosis and suspicions about them?
