| You know, I think my original post on the Pokemon subject was a little over reacting on my part. Sorry to all . Anyway, my fave was always Speed Racer and I have the collection of all the episodes. I introduced my sons to them when he was only 3 yrs old....he's now 6 and his brother's 3 yrs old. So.... |

| I was just wondering what you think about the show Pokemon. My 6 year old son has discovered it this weekend on a "weekend marathon" and now wants to watch it. I watched it with him, as I had never nor he ever watched it before. I love the animation, but I think it's also full of projectionist viole... |

| Thanks blessedmom. My son also counts to himself quite often. I can here him whispering to himself things like 5,10,15,20,25, etc. I find it quite fascinating honestly, but till now, I didn't know why he was whispering words, whispering spelling of words, and whisper counting. |

| Do any of your children whisper words to themselves ? My son does. I wonder what makes him do that. For example, sometimes he's just staring at nothing and starts whispering a word to himself....or sometimes I can tell that he read a sentence, or billboard, or something like that and I'll here him p... |

We too usually try to find "kid friendly " restaurants whenever we can, and my husband and I also have to do the tag team thing with D. Indoor, loud, restau... |

| Oh, another thing that happens at the restaurant is once he's done eating all the while taking detours from his plate to check out other areas of the restaurant, he will begin trying to lay down in my lap like I'm a comfy couch, close his eyes and pretend snore....that's happened more than one ocass... |

| I know, sometimes I wonder why bother going to a restaurant anyway. When he's at home, he's fine, but get him in a setting with lots of noise and hustle and bustle and the asperger traits come out full force. I do feel however that a parent should expose their asperger child to these situations so t... |
