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 can give you all 4 of those except for "good-looking"...


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...
