| Can you give her a big huge calender that you/she can mark off the days she will be with you and the days she will be with dad? I used to do that with my dd years ago and it helped so much. Years later my dh and I had two boys who were spectrum and we do things like this too. Since my dd is quite ol... |

| I posted this question over on the General board to see what info I might get but here is the situation. Both my boys have been previously dx'd with Aspergers by more than one doc. But for School we had to get a new eval with a new doc and due to the Doc's "observations" it's only ADHD and a LD. I k... |

| First of all I think there are a couple of posts here that are overly harsh. I mean how in the world can you call a child a spoiled brat without even meeting him??? As for the schools responsibility, they have more than what a pp poster stated above. Yes it is our job to discipline our kids. Yes it ... |

| Read this article, and then pay attention to the bottom about a school that does things differently that works for our kids. My son was held in a room for 4 hours (not a "padded quiet room" and he was sat on") All because they didn't accept his AS dx, and claimed him to have ODD." He has been trauma... |

| Yes, thankfully he is a pretty polite guy. It makes it hard when he will melt down and then you see the other side of him lol. The school just wants to say ODD when it's really aspergers. But there a bunch of dorks anyway lol. You could be completly right about the ADHD, or sometimes Typical way of ... |

| You know the other day my son said he was riding his bike down the side walk, coming home from a friends house (10 houses down) and he saw a stranger walking on the same sidewalk. When he passed he thanked the person for moving aside. He came home and told me and kept on saying I didn't talk to him ... |

They always get along best when there talking to each other like that lol. I just ignore it. It's not something that really bothers me. I would rather work on a bigge... |

The only thing I could think of were chewing necklaces, but the ones I found online were very floresent and very girly. Why can't they make one in an Army pattern???? He would lo... |

| Thats an interesting way of putting it. My son has a lip licking tic and HATES it because it eventually hurts. So that I'm sure is a tic. Poor guy, just when we hope it's gone and won't come back, it does. The only thing I can tell him is it will be gone in a few weeks. Not much else we can do as me... |
