| LOL, and today, that same eldest son, who is also diagnosed AS or PDD-NOS (whatever they are calling it now) was playing in his basketball game. The coach was yelling for him to "turn around" because he was facing the opposite direction of the ball, with his hands in the air, clueless... He hears th... |

Of course, there are many, but the one that I love most is:
My eldest son, who was about 18 months, had some gas. He paused, let it go, then looked at my husband and I and said;
"Poo-poo Beep" |

good for you 
Been going through this with my son. Hard to find tolerant friends and parents (and family for that matter). I can only hope that with maturity and experience, he will find a niche or be like me and be relatively happy without lots of people in his life. |

| In answer to the OP, I think God appreciates diversity in his creation. I don't know any diagnosed Aspies other than my son. He is an awesome person. My favorite person. Not just because he's my son, but because he is so much *person* in a single body. He inspires me. He is full of joy and wonder. H... |

| Don't know if it was sensory or not, but my son freaked out when we tried to make him a zombie soccer player for the fall festival. We didn't have a costume and needed something quick. He was already dressed for soccer practice. I told him I could use a little black eyeshadow around his eyes and mus... |

| My parents were psychologically and sometimes physically abusive. My father gave me love and attention until about 10 years and then turned on me. I became the scapegoat for both parents. Despite this, I am thankful. I've been around long enough to realize that it could have been much worse, AND the... |

| Hi, My son was recently diagnosed with Asperger's and possibly a bit of ADHD. This was not a surprise. His 6th birthday is today. His current obsessions are crabs, copper, and volcanos. He is big on the geology right now, lol. He is loud and talks constantly about his interests :) He's an awesome li... |
