| She reads very well. I'll have to talk to her about the not sleeping during the night thing. Never thought about that, really. I guess if I do it, she may too. |

| I have two with AS and they both like to collect skeletons and skins that were shed. It is a scientific thing for them, they like a lot of Animal Planet and National Geographic. They see it as beautiful. If he is into egyptian history, maybe he sees it as giving them a proper burial place? I could s... |

| We used to have a picture schedule for her and picture charts for everything. We have moved once a year for the past few years, so for some reason, that threw her into not needing them. Maybe it's time to go back to them. She hates feeling like she is a little kid (embarrassed about pullups even tho... |

| Most mornings have been good so far. My daughter gets up and dressed and starts working on her hair before I am even coherent. The last few days, especially after a weekend, she is near to impossible to get moving. It is not your typical Monday drag. We are talking, I have to TELL her how to put on ... |

| My daughter barks at everyone, so I understand what you mean. She acts like dogs and cats and tries to get others involved. It is usually when she has had enough and has no safe place to detox, so she makes her own and tried to create the surrounding of it. I just keep trying to explain to her that ... |

| I think I agree with you here. My 12yo son has AS and acts what you may call "bitter" but it is mainly when things don't make sense to him or are not logically enacted for him. He Does get angry and talks as if the world is out to get him, but if you actually listen with their point of view, it come... |

| I know. I try to remind her that a good friend for anyone is hard to find so just enjoy the ride. She gets left out by her brother and sister a lot, being the youngest, so she is a bit more sensitive to it. They all get along really well, but she is the youngest... that somehow has remained very muc... |

| She displays stress differently than most. She NEVER mentions things like that unless it is really bothering her. She was moping into the class because she was stressed. If you knew her, you'd know that she smiles almost incessantly. She talks about not having friends all the time, but never with su... |

| Here-in lies the ultimate question... Should I even bother with school or homeschool? I thought it would be helpful for me to do the therapy with her since we can't get anyone else to do it as part of her daily routine and the end of the day is shot for her, overstim takes it's toll. On the other ha... |

| How do you get the training? She is seeing the guidance counselor and has a wonderful teacher, but they aren't offering it, no matter how often I go and complain. She has a 504, but that is just things that WE have come up with. I don't even know how to go about finding a new school that can offer t... |

| I was taking my youngest daughter with aspergers to an art camp for disabilities this morning. We were talking about how wonderful the new building was going to be because of course she wanted to go to the old one and was resisting the new location. After a minute or two of silence she said "I'm goi... |

| Im not saying this is the case, but it is worth looking into. My daughter had awful times with wetting the bed and she is 8. I took her to the hospital one day because she was complaining of terrible headaches and they found that she had seizures. They were harmless, but they were disrupting her sle... |

| Ok, I posted this in the parents discussion but no hits. I have an 8yo daughter with AS and she has been having seizures increased lately, I think, due to diet. I have been lazy and let her eat school lunches. I know. Anyway, started researching diet and autism and there is tmi. Most refer to gfcf d... |

| I have not been here in a while. Good to be back. My 8yo daughter was diagnosed with Aspergers and a slew of other stuff (adhd, odd, ocd) when she was 5 and having trouble in class. I have FINALLY gotten the ability and contacts to have her properly evaluated and she has AS but none of the others (w... |

| Thanks for the replies. I "sought marriage counseling" on the internet because I know that I can not be right all the time. Sometimes you have to step outside yourself and take a good look through someone else's eyes. On the non-defensive, I agree that I am a strong willed person. I have been runnin... |
