I'm a teacher, and I have a son with AS. I think the best thing you can do is inquire every single day about your daughter's progress. Does the music teacher have email? A quick, "How did ___ do today?" will drive her insane, frankly speaking. She will monitor your daughter's progress more closely i...

It is a paradox. I want so much for life to be easier for him, but then again, I wouldn't change anything about him....

Last night was a good one...he only got out of bed twice, neither time for a concern about a medical problem.

Thank you so much for your thorough explanation. I think the Internet will be a good friend,here, too, because quick 'down and dirty' explanations of natural body rhythms will help. I'll just have to filter carefully, for the reasons you stated about the necessity of scaring people to death in order...

My son has known about his AS since second grade. He's now in sixth grade, fully mainstreamed, with only a 504 in place. I think part of the reason for his success thus far is that he understands that he thinks differently than other people do. We ALWAYS stress the great things about the AS, like it...
