| This a southern school system...a lot of politics. The teacher I am talking about, has a close family member on the board of Edu. There's a lot of "who you know" mentality there. Still, I hope that no matter what happens, it will open some eyes. It does make me nervous. I am a single mom , so losing... |

| He's 21 yrs old and has lived in a special "home" (think institutional almost) since he began highschool. He became too much for his mother to handle when he became violent. She still interacts with him on holidays and long weekends from what I hear. I feel sad for him. He talks about "going to momm... |

| For the Aspie or ASD parents on here( or anyone who can offer insight ) : When it comes to my own child...I love to show him affection..lots of hugs etc However, with others (including family like grandparents etc) it seems forced at times (even though I love and care for them). I find it awkward at... |

| PunkyKat, I totally agree with you on that. I just want him to be his authentic self but I want him to be the best authentic self that he can be. As a parent, part of me still wants all the "normal" things for him in his adult future. I want him to go to university, get married and start a family on... |

| It's tough because I know growing up, I felt different...although I just didn't know why. I was always observing...always thinking and carrying out this inner dialogue with myself...but I just never had the desire to speak up UNLESS it was something that highly interested me. Then I sometimes would ... |

You're right. I shouldn't worry about that. What will be will be. I just want him to get the best help that he can.
He starts developmental therapy as well as speech therapy on Thursday. I really like the gals who work with him. I know he will feel at ease with them.  |

| My son does concern me though. I can see red flags...although in a child his age, these things aren't considered red flags yet (or so I am told). He rocks back and forth, not a lot...but he does do it. He loves to spin wheels on toys, especially cars....although he will play with them "properly". He... |

| Thanks for the replies everyone. I am still not sure what to think. I've been thinking more about this especially within the last few months because there might be a chance, my son Hayden is on the spectrum for autism. He's in early intervention now and so far, they think he might have SPD due to be... |

| So much has happened since my last post.... I believe that I might be an aspie...I was told so also by a psychologist a couple years ago, but I didn't want to see it, so I pushed it back in my mind. Here's why she thought this: * I was diagnosed with ADD at a young age. * I have an above average IQ.... |

| Thanks for all the kind words advice. I really appreciate it. I hope to become a regular on here and get to know everyone. :) Well, I talked to Hayden's ped and actually had an appointment with him a couple days ago (Jan 4). I went over all my concerns and fears. I took a toy with wheels so he could... |

| Hey all, I am a single mom who is 30 yrs old. My son, Hayden, is my first child (possibly only child too due to difficult pregnancy)...He's such a delight. He's 14 months old but was born 6 weeks early. So when considering milestone development, he is about a 1 1/2 month behind because I go by his c... |

| Looking forward to getting to know everyone here. I hope to learn a lot about Autism and Asperger's. Right now, my son is "waiting" to be seen for diagnosis. It's scary, I am afraid of what this will mean for my son's future if he is. I am really hoping to gain insight here. Thanks! |
