I hope this at least comes and goes. He wants to be in physical contact with me at ALL times, and it's wearing me down, especially with my own sensory issues. |

The language includes the word 'tests', so I do need my ex on board. Once I brought my son to the after hours clinic just to check if he had an ear infection, since he had a bad cold. The NP wanted to do a chest X-ray on him to make sure he didn't have pneumonia, since he was so congested!! ! I'm li... |

As long as your custody agreement/order doesn't require his consent for you to take your child to see people, you can take him to whomever you think appropriate. It does. I wrote it into the custody agreement that we both need to agree on any medical decisions. We do a lot of UNmainstream things li... |

I grew up at a time before Asperger's was even an available diagnosis. I found plenty of space to be myself. I had numerous interests and hobbies, some that I read about or did by myself, and some that I shared with others. I don't know how your son feels about himself or his Asperger's, but since I... |

I'm really not sure of the qualifications of the person who screened my son at 12 months. All I know is it was a lady from early intervention who came to my house for an hour and asked my son to perform a series of tasks... which he did great on! |

I know about a lot of local resources for autism therapies, but my real difficulty is with my ex. He is completely irrational. And is, I think, still trying to bully me. |

If you are in the US, you should seek out your local Early Childhood Intervention service, each state has some. Your pediatrician should be able to provide you with a name/number. They should provide you with a hearing test and developmental evaluation free of charge. The one in California that hel... |

But then I also hate it when strangers or less familiar people touch me at all. Above post was referring to immediate family only. |

I just don't like unexpected touching. I can't immediately tell if I'm being attacked or what is going on. If I know ahead of time, even two seconds before someone touches me, then I'm fine. |

I didn't know Chinese food was a real thing until my junior year of high school. I grew up in a small town with no Chinese restaurants, and my mom home cooked all of our meals. I'd hear about Chinese food on TV, but only in the context of jokes. What a wonder to my eyes when I ventured off to boardi... |

I'm sure you're good looking to at least someone, it's all a matter of opinion. I don't care for pretty-boys anyway. |

Otherwise, what is left from the AS are a few funny stories. My father absolutely refused to "trouble" others with things like special orders, even after restaurants like Burger King began advertising that special orders were welcome. All I ever wanted was to get my hamburger without condiments, an... |
