| If you want to continue or deepen a conversation, learn to ask questions that are open-ended and personal. What places are on your bucket list? What was your favorite part of being a teenager? (If at dinner) Are there any foods you hated as a child that you like now? Who is your closest friend outsi... |

| I'd agree with Greatsharkbite You are probably not in any real physical danger. Your fear is within the range of normal though, so don't obsess about that. They were rude and you were crude. The chain of events that would lead to a physical fight are improbable, so you probably don't need to freak o... |

My son't diagnosis led to my big "Aha!" as well. I've chronicled parts our experience on my blog at http://aspergersexpert.... |

| I don't know if the four stages work for you, but for me I've identified seven specific stages that persons with Asperger's or those who love them often progress through. If you live like the rest of the world doesn't matter, then you're inviting years of hurt for yourself and anyone who loves you. ... |

| As an educator (in the U.S. though) my counsel would be to escalate as quickly as you can. I don't know if you have something like a public agency for civil rights, but if you do it makes sense to appeal or file a grievance as soon as you can. Some kinds of complaints can become less compelling over... |

I'd disclose when the obvious differences became problematic.
For my son, the right time was entering sixth grade. David actually did a presentation to his sixth grade class with permission and preparation from his teacher. I was present, but I didn't say anything.

I'm an Aspie son of an Aspie with an Aspie son (and five other kids).
One piece of wisdom that resonates for me is that it is always hard to differentiate asperger's from adolescence.

| My 17-year old son once described himself as an "outcast of outcasts" after he was rejected (in junior high) by a group of boys in his Asperger's social skills group. Now he is a senior and was selected as a character mentor for a group of grade 6 boys. After his first session today, he was positive... |

Good insights from Zsazsa.
Also, connect with your local autism/asperger's advocacy or support group. There will be people there who have local insights and a friendly hand. Thank you for caring for your sister and respecting her. She will go far with your support.
