| I am like that too. It drives my wife nuts, I like being early for everything. You should see me fly, I arrange long connections between flights and am at the airport so early its ridiculous, even with stepped up security. But I get panicky if I am not early. |

| Hey, one thing, how is your diet? Never underestimate the importance of diet. If you drink alcohol, how healthy your food choices are, are just as important as how much you sleep. I would assume, however, that your diet is probably pretty good to keep up with the rigorous workouts. I have issues wit... |

| My son always tells us he loves us, and in a very pleasant tone, but never on his own. It is always in response to us saying it first. But I know he loves us, he hugs and kisses us each night before bed, and in fact that is so much his ritual, he wont really go to bed without it, though he is outgro... |

Seriously, that is a cool system, actually. I had never heard of it until now, thanks for sharing! |

| Doesn't it make you crazy that you worry? I have a 15 yo NT daughter and a 12 yo AS son. I have no fears about her future, and many about his. Truth is, he is doing pretty well. He has what he considers friends, he isnt bullied, he does decently (not great) in school. He needs more reminders and hel... |

| I am kind of in the same boat with my son. He has always struggled a little with reading, and never really liked it much, with a few exceptions. He finally found a book he loves and he will read and re read the series. It is a bit below his grade level (he is in 6th grade and the series is a Diary o... |

| I went through some homework trouble of late with my son, and I have to say LostAlien's advice is golden for me as well. My son does MUCH better in the morning (provided he got enough sleep). After school, he is pretty much spent. He just wants to come home and unwind. Sometimes he is good to go for... |

| Thanks for the insight. I guess I was in the throws of having my own meltdown. The more I think lately, the more I wonder if I am on the spectrum somewhere, though if so its pretty mild. But with regards to my son, sometimes he is in a social mood, sometimes he isnt. I do not want to force him into ... |

| My son is not yet dxed (that is a whole different issue) but I am nearly positive he is on the spectrum. He spins, flaps his hands, has attrocious handwriting, a very literal understanding of the world, though along with it s great sense of humor, its just his own humor. He is 12 years old next mont... |

| So I have a question for the parents on this forum, for a father just tip toeing into the pool of AS. My son has just turned 11 and finishing up 5th grade. We have had only very minor problems with him in school over the years, being some impulse control issues mostly. He has never shown "too" obses... |
