| Thank you everyone! I especially like the book recommendation. We are going to the store tomorrow and I will pull a few and actually let him decide I think. Then of course I will need to buy him a comic book to make up for it. :D Really appreciate the feedback... everyone's feedback. (Never meant to... |

| We told my son last year when he was 8 turning 9 and it was a relief to him. It made him understand why he was feeling so different from the other kids. The problem we had was once we told him his teacher wanted him to tell the whole class. I just recently wrote about it on my blog. Check it out if ... |

| Lately we have been taking pictures of his old assignments and test and such. Then he puts the picture on his board in his room. Takes up much less space and he still feels like he is keeping it. He is getting all A's in school so I guess I should not be getting so worried but the school does put so... |

Thank you everyone. I am wondering if that book "Where we Come From" is too young for Jay. I am going to go to the bookstore this weekend and will look into it. Thank you for the recommendation. It will be perfect for my NT 7 year old daughter if nothing else.
Appreciate the feedback. |

| Thank you so much everyone. I had thought about the chart idea myself but was not sure if it would work for him or stress him more. I guess we will just start out small. Like someone commented... he does seem perfectly fine with his mess. I am not sure though if he really knows where everything is t... |

| Thank you and you are so right... the idea of Birds and bees confused him at first too. I had to explain that before even trying to explain anything else. I think a more clinical, medical book would be better for him too. Just facts. Thank you! |

| This is a major issue for us. It is even one of the goals in his IEP. Jay gets so frustrated, I get frustrated... I have tried many different things any nothing sticks. What do you do to help your kids get organized? Example: I have different bins for toys with pictures on them like Star Wars in one... |

| To us my son's Asperger is just something he has in the same way he has brown hair or hazel eyes or that my typical daughter has asthma. Am I proud that he has brown eyes... no it is just who he is. The same for his Aspergers. The Aspergers in my opinion does not make him special. What makes him spe... |

| Hello there, I am new so forgive me if this was talked about before, but I did not see anything so I decided to start my own thread. Next week in my son's 4th grade class they will start talking about the "s" word. This makes me a bit nervous. Not because I am a prude or anything, but I really don't... |
