| You look like a nice guy, a little goofy, but you're not ugly. It's the aspie expression that kills it. My daughter does the same thing in pix. She is quite pretty, but looks so dorky in photos. She affects weird expressions, fake smiles, and is so self-conscious. Have someone take your pic when you... |

| My aspie daughter had a really difficult time with tense, pronouns, time reference etc. She still will say, "I told you today," meaning yesterday, or when she's talking to her older sister, she will say, "no, my mom said no," when they both have same mom. I don't think it's echolalia, I just think w... |

| I really feel your frustration and how you just want answers. If you can just try to understand that sometimes even normies act inexplicably. The answer may not even be apparent to the person who said or did something "odd." When my aspie daughter was under 10, whenever she found herself in a threat... |

| Boy I can empathize with you. It all sounds too familiar. My daughter was first diagnosed with ADHD and OCD tendencies before the PDD/NOS and then Asperger's dx. The best thing we did was have her evaluated at the Yale Child Study Program in New Haven Ct. I see you live in New England, so it should ... |

| I really got excited when I saw this question. I hope you are inquiring about moms of Aspies. That's me, and my pregnancy was the worst I have ever experienced. I had 3 prior, and altho didn't feel well with any of them, the aspie one had so many problems, I wanted to die. I had such a surge of horm... |

| Hi Abby: First, welcome: This is a wonderful place to start your journey thru the difficult yet wonderful world of raising a child with autism. I am so sorry for the difficulties you and your family are having. I remember how frustrated I was when my daughter was that age. I thought I would go crazy... |

| Dear Casmalia: I too have an daughter that has never been definitively dx with just AS. It doesn't matter. These are all neurobiological issues, and the school is hoping you will just go away, and not giving you your rights. They have to address her issues, you just need to find out what your rights... |

| Thank you to all who took the time to help me with my dilemma: "Daughter who can't accept diagnosis of AS or special help." I don't feel so alone or helpless when I hear how you coped or felt with the same issues. I am so grateful, I could give you all a big hug. Of course, you probably would find t... |

| As my Aspie daughter gets older, (she is almost 18), and has mastered many areas of difficulty that were real challenges, she adamantly refuses to believe that she has Asperger's or any difficulty at all. I am at my wit's end, because the more difficult something is, the more she digs in her heels a... |
