| As for Jsmom, that's not shocking, but cell phones are not to blame. As parents it is our responsibility to teach our children right from wrong, blaming technology for corrupting this generation is nothing more than a flimsy excuse some parents make. While the cell phone may have made it easier for... |

| Does a 12 year old need a cell phone? The answer is no. Here's what a 12 year old girl will do with a cell phone. This is a true account of what my friend has been going through with her step-daughter. These are good people who live in a good neighborhood. The 12 year old girl is like any other girl... |

| For me, I think the toughest part about parenting an Aspie child and having him be the "only" child in the family is knowing what behavior is attributed to just being a kid and what is driven by aspergers. I can sympathize with this notion. My only child has AS, so it's really difficult to sometime... |

| My son has had many of the stims that are on the list. He has licked and chewed his lips until they are purple, pulled all his eyelashes off, sings to self, hums, grunts and swallows hard repeatedly to clear his ears even though he tells me nothing is wrong with them. Usually these stims occur one a... |

| LKL~ In the end, does it really matter whether you tell her how you feel or not? Will telling her really change anything? Will it be for the betterment of your relationship with her? Is it worth the risk of hurting her and losing her trust? I'm not sure how old you are, but when we become an adult, ... |

| He has recently said that he will try to cut back on junk food and I hope that he sticks to it since I am very concerned for his health. :cry: Any suggestions on how to help him? Junk food, including fried foods, can be really addicting. Sometimes it is really hard to stop the craving for these typ... |

| You can achieve your goal. Just work as hard as you can for as long as you can while your parents will help. Then, when you reach age 25, you can always try to get a student loan to help out. Some will even loan living expenses. I'll bet, though, that if you keep trying and working hard, when you re... |

| Please do not be too hard on yourself or your mother. We're all different in our mannerism...what we like...what we dislike. It's a funny thing about motherhood...you never know how deep your love for your child will grow. It's an amazing thing. Somehow you'll go to hell and back to do anything for ... |

| I have been remarried for five years. My son and my husband use to go to therapy sessions together once a week for several months. It really helped them to better understand each other. In the past they have been like oil and water, but as time passes and with the help of the therapist, it has been ... |

| My son is the exact opposite. Because of his ADHD, I can't seem to keep the weight on him, especially during tennis or soccer season! I, myself, have a nasty habit of eating to fast. It takes 20 minutes for the body to start to feel full. Maybe if he slowed down and put his fork down between each bi... |

My step-father hid a couple of real arrowheads amongst some of the ruins for my son to find. Oh what a great day for J! To this day he has no idea that grandpa planted them there, but he... |

| Thanks all for your comments. My son is the one with AS. My father had AS, too, so I'm generally used to handling things, but every once in a while I just lose it. :twisted: I don't have any other children, and I am rarely around any other children. When I was a child, I mostly hung out with the adu... |
