| That's wonderful! We don't have that option in our county. I've tried to talk them into doing that with my kids for various reasons. They did ask me about having Eldest home full time with them providing a tutor. I told them I need to work and can't be home all day every day for that, so they didn't... |

| I'm not from India, but I also like it very much. My Dad went to school in London and ate a lot of it. Later when he came back to the US and met my mom he still liked it. We ate it a lot growing up. I got a chance to study in India for 3 mos and jumped at it. It was the most wonderful experience! Th... |

| Style Scores Visual 8 Social 15 Physical 17 Aural 3 Verbal 17 Solitary 12 Logical 9 I think it's interesting that I scored high for both social and solitary. This is accurate. People are important to me and I enjoy them, but I also need time alone to work things out. |

| Question for all the NT's: It is always stated that NT's have superior empathy, so why do you never seem to be able to empathise with me and others with AS? I do empathise with Aspies like yourself and my children. Maybe you meant why do some NTs seem to never empathise. Empathy is the ability to u... |

| Your posts are very helpful DW. Even if they don't always apply they give me something to think about. I've been overwhelmed lately, obviously and the support and input has helped a great deal. Frequent calls to my Mom and emails with my best friend haven't hurt either! The Dr had projected today as... |

I don't want to say anything negative as that wouldn't be helpful or polite, but I do want to validate her if she's wondering... |

| Stress does that to me and I've been very stressed lately. I think getting time alone and extra sleep are excellent ways of dealing with stress as long as it doesn't interfere with your life. I've got ADHD not an ASD so change is something I crave. Lack of change can stress me, but not to that point... |

| I don't know many stay at home parents with little guys who aren't useless by the end of the day. You're probably seeing other parents when they are out and about, but don't see them collapsing in the privacy of their own homes later on. Some babies do require more attention than others. Just becaus... |

| Sure you could be that blind, I sure was about middle son. With all the mood disorder stuff going on it would be easy to focus on that and miss the ASD. ASDs aren't always a big problem. Many of us feel they aren't a disorder and shouldn't be cured. I always knew my eldest was not typical but we did... |

It's the highlight of their year. The night before oceanography camp began Middle son slept for maybe 2 h... |

| PS - 7 mos you say? Ha, he's going to be walking in a few months and then the cuddle demands will slow down and you'll be chasing him to keep him out of trouble. I hope that'll be easier for you, though for most of us it's harder. For you it might be a total relief. |

| Hello! You are NOT the only mom who is overwhelmed by having just one infant. Lots and lots of moms feel that way even if they aren't admitting it publicly. As an Aspie you might be missing the more subtle signs of other people feeling just the way you do. I felt that way with my first son, but it w... |

| You might want to ask these things on the Parents forum as well. It's hard to say if your son will speak clearly or not. If he's speaking that much now I think there is a good chance he will. Kids who aren't speaking at all are more likely to stay that way than kids who are making some noise and hav... |

| Tracker, You are so right to post that advice and it worries me that Aspies and Auties are sometimes misdiagnosed with Psychotic disorders they don't have. Sadly my son does have Psychotic Disorder-NOS and has had both hallucinations and delusions since he was 9. These symptoms developed almost a ye... |

The world at large doesn't understand that gifted isn't the same as wanting more to do. For some kids, yes, but for most AS kids - no. Ugh, if you don't think the world under... |
