| Thanks League Girl- He seems to be learning okay, but I am not sure that he is improving in the social area all that well. He is mainstreamed in some classes with an aid and does okay. I really am not sure that the special ed setting is helping him at all, but I am not sure he would do that well in ... |

| I will definitely try to ask more questions about things being said at school though. But sometimes, when I started asking questions, he starts feeding into it and agreeing with me, so I am not sure. Maybe I can mention it to the teacher and see if she knows anything. |

| Thanks for your replies. As far as whether he is being verbally bullied, I am not sure. He often tells me things that I know are definitely not true, and the teachers ask me about things that he tells them at school that really did not happen. For instance a teacher asked me if someone in my family ... |

| He did tell me that one boy told him that he was a girl, so I was wondering if he was confused. I just keep telling him, no you are a boy. He isn't good at sports because of his motor planning difficulties, so maybe this is why the kid said it. |

| My 9 yr old Aspie does this ALL the time. Wow, League Girl, you just described my son's behavior to a T. My son is very verbal, and he can do imitations of all kinds of accents. His British accent is very authentic, lol. He is pretty smart, (not a genius), but pretty smart. He has been in special ed... |

| Hello all- I poste this on the parent's forum as well. My 9 yr old Aspie boy has been telling me lately that he is a girl. He has never shown interest in girly things and we have never treated him as a girl. I am not sure what I should say or do (if anything) about this. Just curious to know if any ... |

| Hello---I have a 9 yr old Aspie boy. Lately he keeps telling me that he is a girl. He has never been treated as a girl, has never wanted to wear girls clothing, played with girl toys, etc....I am not sure what to make of it. Have any of you experienced this? |

| My theory is that Aspie children will continue to be born whether Aspies choose to become a parent or not. The reason is that it seems that the autistic genes seem to be able to skip generations and show up in some family members and not in others. For instance, I am completely NT. However, my husba... |

| ImanAspie---I like your straightforward approach. I actually did get very annoyed with him tonight, and told him to please stop this nonsense of saying the kids name over and over. He is only 9, so I am not sure how far to go with the discussion with him. I don't want to hurt him or make him not wan... |

| Thanks....My son really doesn't have any real friends. The child that he is fixated on is a non-verbal autistic child. He smiles a lot and makes funny faces with my son, so bingo, I am thinking my son is just enjoying the attention of another child seeming to be interested in him. It is just becomin... |

| Sorry I haven't been on for several days. I am really beginning to believe my son has OCD in addition to being on the spectrum. There are quite a few things, and I am not sure I can remember them all, but I will list a few things. 1) When he is reading out loud, if he misses a word, he has to start ... |

| Thanks DW...thus far his fixations on others has not caused any real problems since he is still relatively young (9). I am really concerned for his future, and I try not to worry too much. All I can do is be aware of the potential for issues and talk to him as best I can. I would love to protect him... |

| I forgot to add that since he does not have much contact with peers outside of school, and I heavily monitor what he watches on tv and his computer time, I am doing the best I can to control any information that he is receiving. However, I know that I can't control his life forever, and I hope that ... |

| Quivers thank you for taking the time to post such an insightful post. I am sure I will gain valuable insight into how my son's mind is working. I feel so bad for him because he is such a sweet child and I hope this does not become an overriding force in his life. I noticed these little fixations ha... |

I didn't reply directly to all of the other posters , but I enjoyed reading all of them and take all of the information into account. I wholeheartedly agree that steering his interests in other directions is a goo... |
