| I think it's great that you are trying to help provide advice. I read here more than I write. My work schedule and my family life simply take up so much of my time. I have written a few notes. But I can get lots of info from just reading. On a positive note, I am trying to get my son to post here on... |

| Have you thought about teaching him yourself, at all? It might help for him to be in a familiar place with familiar people to be able to concentrate on technique and overcome his fear of the water. You don't have to be the greatest teacher in the world, just good enough to get him comfortable and t... |

| Could it be also simply his age? He is prepubescent, and at that age children tend to kind of disconnect from their parents a bit - but it's only outwardly disconnect. In that age, it is very important that parents continue to talk to their children, to try to get through to them and continue to ed... |

| I can't even begin to imagine the situation you are going through. But I do have to say though that you are coming off as that you hate him. If your home life is anything like the kinds of remarks you have printed here, I imagine he is likely picking up on this. If he feels that he has lost his reas... |

| It is getting closer to summer, so I am once again thinking about enrolling my son in swimming classes. We have tried it last year but without success. So I am a bit wondering whether or not ASD'ers can excel at swimming? Their physical stamina? And so on? See, my son is very passionate about water,... |

| You should be proud. Your son is a good boy and he has not fear to stand up for his friends. I am proud. I am definitely proud. I wouldn't say he has no fear. But he does stand up for what he believes in. And he doesn't like to back down. We both raised him with good manners, good etiquette. We're ... |

| I think the teasing is part of the same system - I would venture to guess that your son is struggling to interpret what is going on and to find an appropriate way to express himself when someone makes him uncomfortable or angry; seems like teasing is his alternative to exploding or melting down at ... |

| Thanks for all the replies, feedback. Since this incident happened yesterday, I called his teacher today. Wanted to find out how his day went. I suppose I should be asking my son. Asking him how his day went is a lot of effort for him and often wants to avoid it, so he says usually just good. He say... |

| I'm new to all this social networking and forum stuff. So bare with me. Also I'm new to this forum. I have a 14-yr-old boy with HFA. Came across this forum after talking with another parent whose daughter has PDD. Not sure if this is symptomatic of HFA or not. But it has shown to be something of a p... |
