| As far as her gait is concerned. I at first thought that it was 'low self esteem'...or insecurity, she walks very straight, rigid, does not swing her arms, hips, or anything when she walks, and, she walks toe-heel. I've really tried to break this habit...with no success. Maybe it's a compulsion, bu... |

| she does have an unusual 'gait' and walks very 'rigid' What does your pediatrician say abou the gait? I'm not minimizing anything, but sometimes the gait is a sign of one of several other things, and has nothing to do with Asperger's or any other behavioral disorder....which is not to say that she ... |

| I am new to this Site. My daughter is 11 and her Aunt has brought Asperger Syndrome to my attention as a possible answer to some of the questions we've had about my daughter.... alot of the symptoms seem to fit. Dear Dad: First, you need professional advice. A psychiatrist. On the good side, if you... |

| I think, if you go back and read the AP coverage (the article I'm thinking of comes up in a search), you'll see that he had been taking a lot of what people were dishing out for years. The AP didn't follow that one up, but maybe 60 minutes or 48 hours will. And though I can't imagine taking a gun ou... |

| The mental capacity that it takes to recognize that it is wrong to torture animals is not superior. It is barely enough to make one a real human being. A real-world working definition of a "bully" is someone who tortures another person, then gets them in trouble for fighting back. The person who he... |

| With recent topics of discussion, I'm beginning to think that WP is directed towards adults. I do not understand most of the issues discussed, and I was "sheltered" from bad words and grown-up issues until I joined. I myself am one of WrongPlanets youngest active members, and I feel out of place he... |

One that extends a lot further back, to people justifying the unjustifyable in cruelty to handicapped people, cruelty to anyone who is different, cruelty to anything they don't understand.

| In my humble opinion, there was something else going on with that poor man. That will come out in the weeks to come. However, it served to publicize a site that is the first place I've seen where I can read posts and listen to people who have the same problems my son does, and know that we are not a... |

| I find that when I'm looking at someone, I miss half of what they say. When I'm staring out the window or looking blank, I hear and remember every word, sometimes for years. Everyone thinks I'm very laid back. Wrong. I just don't do it in "three acts." I have tried to explain to family and friends t... |

| That might sound like a stupid question, but there are all kinds of things that can cause behavior problems.....not all of them behavior disorders. It takes a psychiatrist and a blood test to rule out some things. I'm not trying to give you false hope. My own kid has Asperger's and he's a super-trou... |

I don't think I can post a book on this site, so I won't, but do a google search on Erika Hammerschmidt. She's got a couple of chapters on what t... |

| Jobo: Ever fight with a cat. You get clawed. Boot camp is the ultimate rejection. It is throwing in the towel. As downright angry as I get at my kid, I don't think I'd send him off somewhere. As one of my friends said, "My parents did that to my brother, and I don't think he's ever forgiven them." T... |
