| My 6 year old can't do any of these things either. I don't worry about it - she'll get it when she's ready. I figure, no one is going to die if my kid can't ride a bike, kwim? |

| If you are concerned about this happening to your kids, I recommend the book "A Very Touching Book." It talks about good touches, bad touches, etc. and has funny cartoons of naked people. My kids thought it was hilarious - I was a bit uncomfortable but they just thought it was great. Its a very open... |

| Its just the same as being the parent of any other kid. You love your child immeasurably. Yes there are difficulties - but NT kids have difficulties too (just in different areas.) My Aspie daughter makes me laugh a hundred times a day. She is so very literal and that just cracks me up. She's bright,... |

| Okay, so it really wasn't MY idea, I got it from a book and adapted it to our "potty issues." Elaina has a very hard time with personal hygiene, especially wiping, flushing, and washing hands after using the toilet. So I commissioned my mom, an artist, to make us some cards with pictures and one wor... |

| My aunt used to be a psychologist and tested children for problems such as AS. She left the field in 1994. She REFUSES to believe that there is anything at all wrong with my daughter, even though its painfully obvious. Of course my daughter acts differently around her - she only sees her once or twi... |

| Depends on "how three" he is. If he's just three, closer to 2, I think its normal. We have a saying among our friends and family - its not the terrible twos, its the terrible threes! And we have just one ASD child in our family. (My stepson is LFA but is not biologically related to my kids.) If he's... |

| I think its an Aspie thing. My daughter has no apparent empathy for anything. And if you ask her what the funniest thing that could happen is, she says "Mom falling down the stairs" or "If the dogs attacked Mom." (The dog thing would be kind of funny, actually, since they are little chihuahuas and I... |

| We were already homeschooling when we started to notise the signs of AS in our daughter. We use Rod & Staff which is Mennonite and Bible based, so not a great choice if are looking for secular curricula. We do unit studies for Science, History, and Social Studies. I would look into K12, its an o... |

| Thank you all so much! It is nice to talk to people who get what I am saying. So many of our family brush this off as just Elaina not being disciplined, and that is certainly not the case. She is just different from what my family expects a child her age to be. The school district is the one who sai... |

In my research I stumbled on a book about Asperger's, and I was like, Oh My God, that is my kid. She is so textbook its scary. I have go... |
