| It would've made me a lot happier, but, had those car trips been train trips back then, I don't think I'd be that much different today...just a lot happier as a child, and have much fonder memories of childhood. What's wrong with that? I really think it's the parent's job to give their kids a happy... |

| Even though you are homeschooling your child, you have to consider the future and other circumstances. Many kids/people with AS also have SID or sensory issues, these can affect quality of life in or out of school. Going to the mall, even the playground, can be difficult if not impossible for some ... |

| And I was curious if people with confirmed AS had something similar when they grew up? If they also got so emotional over something an NT parent would see as trivial (what mode of transportation to use to get to Grandma's House for Christmas), it was triggering a similar emotional response to what ... |

Quote: we got her a set of cordless headphones. They would probably work for him, and you don't have to worry about cords.
Amazingly enough, I had no idea such a thing existed! Thank you! I'll have to check that out. |

| Also, since he seems to need something to chew on while he listens, you could let him chew on a rubber chewy tube, which would be much safer for him to chew on than electrical cords. Not to be dense but is that like a dog chew toy or something specifically for humans? My son chews on everything. Pa... |

| First I suppose I should ask, if my son is not diagnosed but I suspect he is on the spectrum, can I still post questions here? If yes, does anyone else have a child that claims they can't hear the radio in the car or the stereo in the living room or the tv, etc when set at a normal volume? My son is... |

| The advantages/disadvantages with an official diagnosis are covered in many threads in the Members Forum and elsewhere Thanks for the welcome odeon! I've browsed through some of those threads but the ones I've seen seem to focus on adult diagnosis. I'm trying to determine what advantage my son migh... |

| I've been lurking around here for about a week and have many questions. This is the one that I'm most curious about though. My husband is in the process of being diagnosed with AS and we have a 5 year old son. I've wondered about my son for a while and occasionally mention it to my husband, who some... |
