Thanks for the reply. I agree that boys are generally more physical. I have three nieces a bit younger than our boys. They are not physical when they argue.

Hello all, I'm honestly not sure what to do to help my child. My Aspie, "M" was born female and is currently 18 years old. M was diagnosed with having Asperger's during 2nd grade. From 2nd grade M always had an IEP plan. M is incredibly talented with artistry and in certain areas scored ve...
