| I rock when I'm sitting and standing, and I'm NT. I didn't even know I did it until my husband pointed it out to me. My father has AS, though, and he's a rocker, so I might have learned it from him. My son - on the spectrum - doesn't, however. He sometimes paces when anxious. |

| My 4.5 yo flaps out of excitement. It looks to me as though his body can't contain the feelings, and so he expresses them physically. Yupa's strong feelings about wanting others not to flap point to what I suspect all "other" hatred is about: seeing something you hate about yourself in someone else.... |

| What is more important in this world than happiness? How does anything mentioned in this thread lead to happiness? My son is the happiest person you'd ever meet. Think about it - when you aren't bogged down by endless concerns about what so-and-so thinks about you or how you need to act to make so-... |

| That little boy, i will never forget his face, on how totally confused/sad he was :cry: . That makes me so sad. I've seen that same look of confusion on my son's face sometimes when he's been expected to do something he just doesn't understand. It slays me, and I can't imagine how a parent could se... |

| My son is 4.5 and has PDD-NOS. Recently we started considering meds as a way to support his feeding therapy. He eats three things, only one of them possibly considered food, and otherwise literally survives on supplements slipped into his milk. His anxiety about putting any other food in his mouth ... |

| I'm surprised by this thread. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I came to WP BECAUSE of all the adult aspies. As a mother of a child on the spectrum, I'm so hungry to see images of who my child might be. There are pretty much NO images of autistic adults in our culture that aren't skewed by the notion of "trag... |

| Myboys - PDD-NOS is Autism + average IQ, not low IQ. So it wasn't me saying that - and I don't think anyone was. But it isn't. PDD-NOS is having some of the features of autism, but not enough to earn a full diagnosis. Check your DSM. It has nothing to do with IQ. I'm so curious where you got this b... |

Sorry, but this is driving me crazy as my son has the PDD-NOS diagnosis -
PDD-NOS = meets some but not enough of the diagnostic criteria to receive a full autism diagnosis. That's it. Whoever's saying PDD-NOS = autism + low IQ, stop it. |
