| *hugs* to you. I so relate. When I told them it was a communication glitch and judgementalism on their part - the answer? "We're not judgemental...we're right"......mind blowing arrogance. I was also told that the only reason people who had known me 20+ years who I had no probs with didn't have prob... |

| for math have you tried grid paper or turning his paper sideways so he has columns instead of lines? Somehow that helps my son organize better. Chewing gum also helps. With my daughter sometimes I have to point out that there are times in which rules must always be followed (like in Math, and spell... |

| THANK you! I do understand. I was always like that myself and still am. If it was me - if they turned everything into punny word play I'd remember the whole lot! lol His thing is - he really likes Math and is motivated - but gets that muddled bit from one piece of paper to the next sometimes - but d... |

| Hiya - I have a 16 year old who is in the midst of diagnosis.....he does not need a "reader/writer" for exams, but will need a separate space and a person to prod him to stay on task....or a stop watch or something. He has been home schooled for 8 years and is now doing correspondence in prep for un... |

| Thank you. I appreciate that. I feel that, while we sometimes get things wrong as Aspies - it is made all the more difficult by passive aggressive people who expect everyone to get their hints so they don't actually have to tell the truth or learn to communicate effectively themselves, thereby allow... |

| I'm sorry - I'm not going into all that with you - not to be rude or becasue I am offended - but becasue finally, this morning, I took it all to my doctor - she took me seriously and has pulled out the big guns to get us the right help. She stated (as I have before to him) that he could end up in pr... |

| I am going to through this out to you but maybe softer parenting might be an interesting thing to try, if you haven't. I know it sounds counter-intuitive but I get better behavior when I lighten up a bit, sometimes. If nothing else, maybe it would throw him off his game, and you would see something... |

But we finally have this woman who is helping us find the correct channels to find out and test everything.....her aspie was the same. Keep in mind: this could ... |

| No - they provide initial diagnosis in order to then be passed to GP to be passed to specialist. One cannot rock up to the GP with a bunch of labels and demand to see specialists. GP's rely on places like this to make the initial diagnosis ad go from there. I'm not stupid. I research. I also have th... |
