Thanks Artrat 
We want to concentrate specifically on getting people to understand meltdowns. In the hope they will learn to keep their judgement to themselves. |

| My friend and I have been working on a number of projects this year to improve the way our community sees Autism. We are making groups for ASD kids to socialise that are catered just for them and done in a really fun way. We are making individualised videos for kids to help family, friends and teach... |

| I wonder how different putting all NTs in to one pile is different to saying all blacks or asians or jews think the same way. I do not like being placed in a category with anyone else, I think like me....as do my ASD family. My son is not ASD, he is James and he thinks like James. My daughter is Ale... |

| My 15 year old daughter has ASD and her Facebook account caused us more grief than anything else. She was under the care of a Psychologist for a few years and she told us that 95% of the kids they see have issues relating to Facebook. If you are going to do it I would have very strict rules and moni... |

Apparently for my son clothing tags feel like sandpaper and eye contact with strangers is so uncomfortable that it is almost physically painful. Apparently for... |

| I have a 15 year old Aspergers daughter and she would not do those things, neither would my Aspergers husband or son. Unacceptable behaviour is unacceptable behaviour no matter what label you have. She is not treating you properly and it sounds like a very unhealthy relationship to me. Move on hun, ... |

| I am NT but my husband and 2 children are Aspies as is my nephew. I have alot of contact with Aspie kids/teens because I run an ASD gamers group. I find it psychologically easier to be around Aspies than I do NT's. Dealing with facts, honesty and being talked to about something more important/intere... |

| The label really doesn't matter as long as the label he has gets him the help he needs. We went through a private behavioural psychologist for our initial Aspie diagnosis for both of our children to get them the help they needed as quickly as possible. Once that was done we found a multi-disciplinar... |

| I have tried the diets and they made no difference to either of my kids. The only thing that has altered anything with mine is behaviour modification programs. |
