| Just out of curiousity, last night I asked my NT husband if he replays, and rehearses conversations in his head and out loud. To my surprise he said that he did. I asked him if he does it often, he said he did. I was quite shocked, as I've been married to him for 9 yrs, and I didn't know this. Maybe... |

| Yes, I see she is stimming. She is a lovely lovely person, and a fantastic singer. Wow, I didn't know the movements that she was making in that video was considered stimming. I do the same ones all the time. Now, I'm feeling a little embarrassed, wondering how that I must look to other people. yay ... |

| Yes, I do this too - both replaying and rehearsing. Most of the time I only do it out loud when I am alone though. I hadn't thought of this as an AS thing before - I just assumed everyone did it. Any NTs here to provide their views? I don't think it is an AS thing. I think it has to do with social ... |

Hi Taken! Welcome to WP!
I also have 2 kids on the spectrum. That's what led me to learn about autism, and to this board initially. I hope that you find all the info, and feedback that you're looking for here. |

| Autism is my foremost perseveration, at the moment. It has been for about a year, since my youngest was diagnosed. I want to know everything about it so that I can be an expert as to how to help my boys the most. I came to this board to learn more to help my boys, and it was like I was reading about... |

| I think there was another thread about this about a month ago. For me, it was kind of like that Aha! moment when I read it. I was floored that other people do this, too. It was after I had read that thread that I figured that I must have AS. I have even caught myself lipping, and doing gestures, wit... |

Terrified of giving off the wrong signals and misleading people? Unsure of boundaries in friendships and what friendship actually means? Totally clueless w... |

I also think that it's great that you are setting boundaries with you mom. I've met people like your mom, a lot in my life, and it sounds to me like she just lik... |

Do you have any ideas as to what might be setting off your son's behaviors? How much language does he h... |

| I think it's very possible that I have AS, and that my husband has ADD. We have 3 kids, 2 of which have some form of autism. My youngest has severe autism, and no one is sure if my middle son has AS, or HFA. I think that genetics play such a huge role in ASD that if two people that have some form of... |

I get embarrassed when I watch a love scene, and mortified to the point that I have to leave the room if it involves nudity. If my husband is watching w... |
