| We went through something similar and at the same age. We did not have the attitude, the aide nor the ADHD, but did get the lying and failing grades from just not doing work. We pulled my ds' iPod over and over again. He'd get the grades up get it back. We'd pull it again and again for weeks on end... |

| Ok, My son has had straight A's and B's all school yr except for a few weeks when we changed his meds, they slipped a little. His meds seem to be working wonderfully, but the last few weeks he has had such an attitude! I understand that this happens with kids his age(11 almost 12) but it's much hard... |

| He has an IEP, And I am working on getting a behavioral aid to come in and help us with homework issue and such. It just seems that when he decides he doesn't want to do his homework that's that. He won't do it. I have had to send him to bed several nights after he has spent 3 or 4 hours sitting at ... |

| My son doesn't have much for sensory issues. If fact I can't even think if one. He used to be sensitive to noise but doesn't seem to be anymore. It's usually just whining that he didn't get to play his games, or doesn't get this, or his brother did that. |

| Thank you ALL! I have done most of the things mentioned but I will for sure use the "try again". I know it will take time and I'm sorry I should have mentioned he has AS and ADHD. I will keep working with him, He wants so badly to please us. That's why I have a hard time telling him I am mad at him.... |

And quite honestly I KNO... |

He can't seem to grasp that there really is no right or wrong answer. He can't come up with his own answer. Or when he is reading in his social studies book, he will loo... |

If he has to answer a question in his own words, he can't to it, and then gets extremely frustrated. Anyone have any advice? Any ideas how to explain to him how to ... |

| If you discovered your son were a genius, would you have included this phrase in your question? Probably not, because you don't think being a genius is anything to feel bad about, or something that there is any reason for someone to feel bad about. But you think having AS is something to feel bad ab... |

| Thanks!! I tell him everyday how smart he is. He has a lot of confidence issues especially on his meds. The problem I see is, He doesn't seem to CARE about anything but playing the wii and nintendo DS. Even when I do talk to him about it I don't think he will care:( |

| How do I talk to him about his Aspergers without making him feel bad? He's been living with us for 5 months and he has never mentioned it, Never talked about it. Should I talk about it?
