I would still make sure he washed and dried properly but am I expecting this too young? He really kicks off but im not sure if thats just be... |

| Hi, I posted this ages ago and forgot all about this post. Thankfully, its not happened since I went to the school. He is very sweet and pure by nature, he talks constantly about war and bombing etc but if he sees something happen to a person or animal (animals in particular) he gets really upset. I... |

| Our daughter went from a mainstream school to a special needs school. The change has done her a lot of good. Yes, she's now with other kids who have problems similar to hers. Rather than causing regression, what has actually happened is that the teachers are very knowledgeable at how to teach aroun... |

| My girlfriend's son (Billy, 10 yr old aspie) is costing us well into the triple digits each for new shirts every month. He chews and ruins his shirts, after one time of wearing them. Yes, I know, this is stress relief, but we can no longer afford it. So today, I made a deal with him. We are going t... |

| We think its coming to the point where this may have to happen for our son who has aspergers and adhd, im worried that if he is always with other kids who have the same problems he will regress in some ways, but then again im worried that in mainstream secondary he will get bullied. We are so confus... |

| Hi there, my son had an iq test which came out at below average. He can tell me about planets, nebulars, stars, matter and so many things that I do not even understand it all. His psychologist even said that this result was not a true result. Autistic people have so many things going on and my son f... |

I had a phone call from the head yesterday to say he is not settling at all, refusing to take part in anything or do any work since being back a... |

| AS kids will not eat if they are hungry! Unlike NT, many AS kids have sensory issues and will starve, (not really) instead of eat. Texture being the biggest, along with smell or even taste. With my son, 90% of the time it is due to the texture. I have been down this road with him. Everytime i give ... |

He is not aware of being teased thank god as he thinks people are laughing with him and not at him. He is obsessed at the moment by army and war an... |

| Obviously he is my child so for that I am grateful. Since he was so small we have struggled with hyperativeness, muddled talk and an unhappy boy. My son moved up a class this year - he is a different child! He is polite, aware of his behaviour and a lot less hyperactive. I cannot believe the change ... |

Of course he shrieked in pain but then he gets really really angry at the rolling pin and starts looking around ... |
