| I think this is a great thread and while I definitely felt a bit defensive at the 3rd person wording 'parents are doing this because... and are being dishonest and absurd' being that there are many parents here and many who may use wording like 'have to' I actually really enjoy discussions like this... |

So the psych thought he should have a low verbal ability?
If so, I think you need a second opinion because it is common for people with AS to be average-advanced in language but often with atypical language patterns (intonation, formality, usage etc.). |

| Another thought, she has difficulty letting go of the fan when the weather cools and letting go of the heater when it warms, so I think that may also have something to do with it, she asked for the fan recently, even with her winter gear on, it is slightly too cold for the fan. Perhaps it's an inabi... |

| I don't think it's a social thing, I think it's more a varied sensory experience. I wear less clothes than other people in winter, my husband wears a lot more clothes in summer than other people. My daughter (AS) as we speak is sleeping with mittens, winter hat and slippers on, while it is perfectly... |

| This is something I wonder about too! My daughter is EXACTLY like this! Thankfully when we go out she will -usually- wear appropriate clothes, but at home it is either impossible to keep anything but underwear on her (and getting to that point took time) OR she is in full winter getup, mittens, hat,... |

Absolutely, this is what had me insisting there was something different abo... |

| Potty training is a difficult issue here too. Big changes in routine cause a lot of pee accidents often for weeks, sometimes months at a time. She is 5, completely dry at night, no poo accidents (one EVER! Before she was potty trained, it freaked her out and she never had one of those accidents agai... |
