| He only draws circles. He hates drawing or coloring and rarely will do it at all. I bought a cool dinosaur abc book where you can trace the letters and wipe it off, he just scribbles all over it though. I also got him this book http://www.amazon.com/Creature-ABC-Andrew-Zuckerman/dp/0811869784 and we... |

| Well if he is retaining the info he is keeping it a big secret. He refuses to sing the abc song, and can recognize the letters A, B, O, and X. These are the only ones he recognizes at home and at school. I decided to teach him about money since that's what he's interested in. But I also told him I'd... |

| I have tried everything to get my son to learn his abc's. He refuses to sing the song at all, always has. He will look at books with me but after reading this really neat abc book to him nightly for months he has retained none of the info. After being in preschool all year learning about abc's and n... |

| I answered everyday for my 4yr old son. He tells me he has a headache daily, especially after riding in the car, or being in social situations. That's sad, I hope you can find a solution for his headaches. I've had headaches since around that age and it's not fun. It is. I don't think it could be f... |

| My son was the same way. Refused floats ect. and insisted he knew how to swim. At age 3 he jumped in and swam across the pool by himself no problem. We are always with them at the pool, and the deck has a gate that stays locked. |

| What 'bad things'?? That's a very vague and completely subjective term. Is he singing "Kill! Kill! Kill!" or "It tickles when I wipe my butt" ? One is disturbing, the other inappropriately amusing, and each suggests a completely different sort of response. Mostly cuss words or things like I'm gonna... |

| My son, 5 years old has just started to say 'bad' things, we believe out of frustration or to get attention. Both in public and at home he says hurtful words, which we have at first addressed, but now ignor completely, then redirect. It's a very recent thing, about 2 weeks of saying 'bad' things, b... |

| My 4yr old son is very impulsive and will often blurt out things, usually bad things. Sometimes he will just sing these bad things the whole time he is happily doing something. If I ask him to stop he gets worse, and then worked up, and then a meltdown follows. Has anyone got any experience with thi... |

| Hi, I'm a mom of 2. My daughter is 8 and my son is 4. I'm 99% positive my son has aspergers. We are awaiting another evaluation sometime in July. I come here hoping to learn ways to help him. Especially, how to teach him as I have found it nearly impossible to get him to learn his letters or numbers... |
