| I've been doing the paid blogging type thing, and it's really not something I could live off of. I get paid 1 cent per word and so far they've sent me assignments for like 300 word articles, and my Aspie nature makes me research a bit and put more time into it than I think they expect, so I'm basica... |

| ToughDiamond, Don't worry about long posts. I have a little autism going, so I can handle it. LOL I really enjoyed reading it. CockneyRebel Would you care to go into some detail about your take on understanding and feeling emotions? I think a lot of us don't realize an emotion until it's too heavy t... |

| Good advice... thanks! I can sound impersonal a lot, because my logic is to be polite and ask people questions about themselves or how they feel. But sometimes it can be hard, because I'll want to say something and I'll have emotions about it, but I'm not sure what they are exactly. Like, it can fe... |

| So I was on facebook and I saw a post, "There's a missing teen last seen on 1st street in Onetown..... please contact local police if you know anything." My first reaction, "poor thing, hope they find him...move on." Wait, second reaction, "I should copy and repost to help." Someone comments, "yeah,... |

| In the future, you might want to delay your return home until your daughter has finished her treat, so that it is not rubbing the other children's faces in the fact that she got a treat and they didn't. :-) Haha. Yeah, I agree. Well now it's not so hard. They got the mini blizzards and snack size v... |

| Being he's your nephew, you really don't have much say in the situation other than what his parents will agree to you having. First I have to say, even if one has AS, that does not mean all of that person's actions can be blamed on it. I was never violent as a child. The problem with children with ... |

| OH and the other thing that got me ticked. One day he was here at my house, and I was having an issue uploading my website. I couldn't get certain pics to upload (of course the reason was stupid, spaces in the name), but anyway, I was losing my mind trying to figure it out. His advice. "Give up, ju... |

| When I say manipulative, let me tell you about this meltdown I saw. He was upset and trying with force to leave the house. When my husband intervened by using force to make him stay, he got worse. That was very Asperger's. What wasn't Asperger's, beginning of the meltdown, he was intentionally tryi... |

| I don't know what state you are in (or if you are in the US) but in our state there is an AU supplement that the schools must abide by if a child is designated AU-autism. That is why the schools want to place a child in any other category, including ED (Behavior Disorder) or OHI. Your sister needs ... |

| What a complete and utter mess. The worst part is that I'm not sure you can actually help at this point. I love your desire to, but the family dynamics you've described leave me wondering if it's possible. That child is in the wrong environment, period, and it is unclear if a suitable environment e... |

| I have had a similar experience with my son’s school. It is sad when the adults don’t have any more sense then the kids. My son had meltdown at school often. The adults at the school were not mature to handle my son. He has average intelligence and does not fit in to the special Ed category. After ... |

| Thank you everyone for the responses. I'm not sure what to do at this point at all. I do think I need to vent, and I hope y'all don't mind. I just feel so cornered right now... My sister admitted him into a hospital. I'm guessing he'll be there for a week. I've known this place to be used for people... |

| So I got a family member with Asperger's. He is about 10 years old. Some of his meltdowns at school are getting really bad. Last time he was at my house, he went into meltdown. The one I witnessed, well, it seemed fake. Like he was making eye contact and seemed in total control. I do believe he had ... |

I'm not going to tell you where I stood on it, but I will say I tried to research the rules with it, and I couldn't find anything on the web, in my Simon and Schuster Handbook, or in the APA manual. Maybe I missed it, but I'd really like all your op... |

But, I have a bad habit of always having to have the last word with people. Even on things that are friendly, it takes a lot out of me to jus... |
