Boy, this is so true. It's definitely everywhere EVERYWHERE in my husband's family and pretty high in my family too. No wonder both my boys have issues! |

| My daughter has a variation of this and I have struggled to understand why. When with others (like at school) she won't talk sometimes especially if she needs something. If I am there she might whisper it to me and pull on my shirt or sleeve, begging me to TELL them ( the teacher, or a peer, etc). ... |

| We waited to tell my mother in law about our son until we had some diagnosis. I know she wouldn't have accepted 'our' diagnosis. What's funny about it though is that she noticed some things with H. Like, he's super tidy, always puts his socks in his shoes, puts his shoes away, straightens the chairs... |

DEFINITELY. Henry, my 5 year old, is COMPLETELY different at school than at home! |

| I guess I don't see a need for you to tell her unless you think there are things she can do to help you now, as an adult. ESPECIALLY, if you haven't gotten a documented diagnosis. If you aren't wanting to get that, they why the need to tell your mother? It's good for you to know - diagnosed or not a... |

| And my son just said he wanted ginger snaps, so I gotta do that, but thanks. I do echo back feelings and we talk about that. He 'gets' what happy and sad and mad and surprised are and can make those faces. Just the other day, we asked, "what makes people mad or sad or happy" and he was able to simpl... |

| I cannot tell you have nice it is to have people who are on the spectrum to be able to explain WHY. My son is five and very verbal. Like the OP, my son can describe the sky, the car, about a book a tv show. Ask him how his day was? Ask him how he's feeling? We are LUCKY to get a one word answer. Now... |

| No don't do that... we all have days where we just can't deal with one more hooey, sensitive topic. I DO feel your frustration and gals like Jenny McCarthy don't help! |

| Well I personally think the vaccine thing is a bunch of Hooey. I think that for SOME kids with ASD, their symptoms might be worse because of a food allergen (they are less able to tell us if their tummy hurts, etc), but don't believe it's a cure. |

| Before we moved, I talked almost daily with a friend whose daughter, my older son's age, has Asperger's. She and my little guy paralleled so much. Both her daughter and my son did tae kwon do together, so it was easy and helpful. Now, after the move, I have her support and ideas via Facebook - as we... |

| I think you are looking at it in a different way than is intended. There are studies that suggest that gluten/cassein can make kids worsen their behaviors because they affect the brain. They may not have any other visible sign of having gluten problems - at all. There is even some studies that say t... |

| I wish I knew. My older sons has very strong ADHD and is in 9th grade. Where most kids can finish timed tests, many times he cannot. Where we used to live, they give intelligence tests to see if kids qualify for GT full time. We missed the regular testing as we wre moving in from another state, so w... |

| Sometimes I think the easiest way to see if there is a problem is to watch her with other peers, and to watch other like-aged peers. Some things you might not even notice as problems because they've always been there and it just seems part of her. But, it could also be, that she has some traits, but... |

| And more about testing - can any of this be covered by insurance if you get testing? The prices are ridiculous crazy for out of pocket and i know my husband would NOT go for that, with such sketchy connections and with Henry not showing any classic signs of being gluten or cassein intolerant. I also... |
