| Have him count to 3 before saying ANYTHING. Practice at home with him. Impulse control is a skill, just like playing the piano or doing multiplication in your head. It must be practiced. |

| Temple Grandin specifically talks about this. Her recommendation is to go get a pair of colored sun glasses, with the actual lens being tinted (seriously). Apparently that has helped tons of people and the print stops jiggling. |

| Yes. I have a very important suggestion for you. Listen Carefully. This book changed my life, and I highly suggest reading it: "Unlimited Power" by Anthony Robbins If you can't afford the $10 it costs on amazon, go to worldcat.org and look for it in a library near you. |

| IDK, I don't think that social differences between NTs and AS are an all-or-nothing thing. I think it's important for people with AS to learn enough social skills to be successful at whatever kind of life they want. I think, also, that social differences and different needs should be respected by N... |

| I disagree that we will always be on the other side. I've managed to cross that barrier. It takes a delicate balance to be yourself, but work on the parts of you that, quite honestly, suck. I worked on myself for years, reading books, listening to audio's, going to seminars, watching videos to under... |

| Do you ever have a special interest that you want to move on from? Yes. I wish I could move on from my special interest in astronomy and being an astronaut because it's something I will never be able to achieve as I am no where near good enough at math. I get extremely depressed every time I rememb... |

Not like the weird "chocolate milk" that the others taste like, but actual chocolate milk. Also, L'il Critters Gummy Vites are vitamins th... |

| The DSM is what they use to determine diagnosis. For Aspergers, it says (I) Qualitative impairment in social interaction, as manifested by at least two of the following: (A) marked impairments in the use of multiple nonverbal behaviors such as eye-to-eye gaze, facial expression, body posture, and ge... |

Then went right back to playing computer :) Limit his computer time, and try to get him to do other things. The key f... |

| Our brains certainly are different. Even though it is only a snapshot of one moment in time, I would love a brain scan, and to be able to compare it with some Neurotypical individuals to see the differences. One of those that shows the connections in the brain. They did this exact thing to Temple G... |

| Yes, definitely. I used to have tons of issues due to anxiety and stress. Teach him some simple breathing exercises, they worked wonders on me: Breathe in for 4, hold for 4, breathe out for 8. Or another time length using the same ratio. Another one I like is four short breaths in, four short breath... |
