| My soon to be step-son (11 year old Aspie) used to head bang. When he and his mom lived at grandma's he used to do it to get his way. I called his bluff on it and he has never done it again. |

Trust me, it can. And with me, it does. |

| Billy, my Fiance's 11 year old Aspie, also hates to get a bath at night. Being OCD myself, I can't stand to get near him when he smells. If he outright refuses to get a bath (which doesn't happen all that often anymore), I tell him fine, but he can't come near me because he stinks. He gets upset and... |

| The Christian church bought and paid for the Korans. It is their property to do as they wish. The extremist Muslims who burn churches are not burning their own property, they are burning someone else's and depriving Christians of their civil rights. Personally I think this is nothing but a cheap pu... |

| I have to cook three different dinners every night, and Billy (11) STILL complains half the time! He is under the delusion that he is being "tortured" somehow when he asks for one of the four foods he will eat, I cook it, then he decides he wants something else and I refuse to cook a fourth dinner. ... |

| Hey all. My fiance and her 10 year old son, Billy (Aspie), moved in with me 8 weeks ago. Things have been going great! He has transitioned very well to the new environment, and without grandma undermining mom's authority, he has been growing as a person by leaps and bounds. We still have a few bumps... |

| Why are my parents so pissed off that I quit my easy job because of philosophical despair over human nature Do they now have to support you since you don't have a job? That could be a huge reason. I know if my son quit a job for something like that and he expected me to support him, I'd be FURIOUS!... |

I am NT and I sure as heck do!
I even have "fantasy conversations" in my mind where I am arguing with people. I think it is common among intelligent people (IQ 152 here). Other smart people I have talked to have said the same thing. |

In our wedding, the pastor is going to ask Billy if he tales me to be his dad. Mom is the one who hands out to dis... |
