I agree a kid is being a kid, and an autistic kid is being an autistic kid. I also see parents trying to help their kid and socialize him so he can grow and be accepted in the world. My 11 yr old nephew has AS and he LOVES to draw, and he's very good at it, and this is his "thing" to do when he's st...

I am a bit stymied by your post because any corporation and any smart ex-employer will only answer 3 questions: Did XX work for you from YYY date to ZZZ date? Was this person's attendance acceptable?

There's always grey areas and always differeing opinions, and there are almost no arguments where one person is "right" and the other person is "wrong." 99% of the time it's just different opinions.

Granted my experience is limited, but we do agree on at least one thing -- how people feel and show empathy is wildly different. And I don't think anyone can make an 'across the board' statement about how people feel and respond. When my nephew with AS was little, he never understood a raised voice....

I think you pose a very valid question. My 11 yr old nephew has AS. He is also the only child of very devoted parents ... and I wonder where the line is between AS and spoiled. I don't think "AS" and "spoiled" are mutually exclusive :) And I think that's a really tough tightrope to walk -- what is b...

Just a hello from a new member. I'm here looking for advice on how to be the best Aunt possible to my 11 yr old Aspie nephew. We don't live in the same area, so see one another half a dozen times per year. He does know me and love me and we are always happy to see one another. I find myself getting ...
