| I don't know know about stigma or any of that. I've been weird for years, and am just now coming to terms with the fact that there's a name for it, and things I can do to help myself that actually work, and that my child likely has the same thing, and again I'm finding things that help him. I can't ... |

| Mama to Grace, I agree with you. I have gotten the most help for my son from therapists and Wrong Planet, and reading on my own than from doctors. Here here! A dr just looked at my ds and saw that he looked at him and interacted some and said I was being silly. Things didn't get better. I called th... |

| I am still having some issues. When my daughter becomes upset and I feel myself becoming upset due to her physically lashing out at me, I will try to withdraw. She will follow me and insist on continuing to yell and carry on. I have tried to lock my door which just further escalates her. She will t... |

| Hi NinjaMomma, let us know how your sons screening goes. Yes it does sound like you are AS. Maybe if you could considered being screened yourself if there is any extra help available to you if you do have AS. "some help with my son and myself because I get urges to hit my kids when I get overstimul... |

| What I manage to do when we are at home, is I have a tall baby gate that takes my 4 year old some work to open (he unscrews the pressure mounting enough so he can stick something in the latch and sort of "pick" the lock), or climb over. When I need that time, I let them have free range of the house ... |

| Knowledge is power. When I was a child, if I was afraid of something, I would read and learn up on it until I wasn't afraid of it. My big ones were snakes and tornados and I read up and learned about them until I could make myself touch a pet snake and learned not to freak out (besides sensory issue... |

| Find a church with more dinosaurs? Seriously, I feel really bad for the little girl. I would find a neighbor who could babysit for you. Then maybe in a few years see if she wants to participate in your supernatural rituals. <3 I could never take my son to my mil's church, and didn't see the need to... |

| Sounds like my 4 year old. He is smiling and laughing the whole time he is hitting or doing whatever to me, but he will get mad and bite his brotheror hit him. I take away whatever the object of whatever caused him to lash out away from both of them. I was taking away outside time, but giving him so... |

| I'm in the process of having my 4 year old screened. I waited a long time after I had little red flags going off in my head, thinking, oh he'll grow out of it. He's making eye contact that's ok. I finally found out about a bunch of other things that relate to being AS. He was afraid of the vacuum or... |
