| I had never heard about this until reading this thread but it makes sense now..we have always joked and called my son Jaden "A hot box" b/c he's always warm and if he lays on you it makes you hot and sweaty. It kind of explains why he doesn't really like physical activity or being outside when its h... |

| I go back and forth with the same issues as you stated I sometimes feel I'm too easy on my son but then other times I refuse to give in. Its a very hard balancing act and when others be it family or friends think "ohh your being too hard" but they have no clue what my daily life is with a child who'... |

| I think this is a tough one b/c there is no 1 answer that works best for everyone. For my son who is 8 he just has to calm himself down when he's ready. We try to talk to him and get him to relax and explain whats really the problem. But most of the time he has to do it on his own. |

| When my son is having a good day he gets through his homework and hardly complains but when he's having a bad day he'll be at the table for hours. Its hard to push him b/c if we push him too hard then he'll have a meltdown and then we take his video games away b/c thats seems to be the only thing of... |

| My son has AS and has Sensory issues too which sometimes causes him to not recall the simplest of things and we have to repeat ourselves quite often. I feel as if I repeat myself so much now its almost a habit even when not dealing with him. |

I'll give this method a try tho: Hold one nostril closed with pointer finger,hold tissue under the other nostril.Close your lips tightly and breath in lightly through open nostril then breath out nostril as hard as yo... |

| My son worries about anything and everything. He hates to wait for anything b/c it will take way too long and his biggest complaint is waiting for food b/c he's almost certain he'll starve to death waiting. We have assured him no kid has ever starved to death on our shift but it still brings him so ... |

He has a hard time understand somethings and takes things very literal for instance. I am white and my husband is black, we have twins 1 lo... |

That sums up my feelings! I have twins so I can really see the difference it 2 kids the same age going throu... |

| We do set some limits but not strict limits to my son and his video games. Over the years we have realized that its a great tool and a motivator as well. If my son has a bad day as far as melt downs/tantrums, not doing whats asked of him then we will often take away his chance to play the games that... |
