| Being a parent to my aspie son is amazing. At times it can be very hard work & you'd need the patience of a saint but overall its so rewarding. I have to put lots more time & energy in but what I get back is soooooooo worth it. Sometimes we have a little world of our own & its like no-on... |

| DW_a mom, you are right its good to know kids want to say hi to our kids & I’m almost giving up on my son saying hi back too. I think that is a good idea explaining to the other kids some of your son’s quirks. I will talk to the teacher whether we should do the same because some of his classmate... |

| My son (5.5yrs) is very fussy about his food. He eats things one at a time also. If he's having chicken nuggets he will eat all the crumb off first & then eat the chicken. He hates if even a tiny bit of the chicken comes off when he eats the crumb off. He also eats very slowly. He more or less h... |
