I've got this wonderful 16 (nearly 17) year old son who has PDD-NOS, constantly struggling with getting school work done. We've got all the meds straightened out but in 10th grade for the second time. Simply can't seem to do his homework. The more we try to coax, bribe, just mention, yell - you nam...

Wow you really have your hands full. Could you get him to glance over Wrong Planet and maybe see some similarities with himself or learn some coping strategies? Or do you know of any other Aspies you could introduce him to? He is in denial and probably won't take anything from Mum and Dad, but an a...

College was a disaster and though we tried to provide every support to enable him to succeed, he also has an anxiety component to his uniqueness which prevented him from attending classes - he coped with this dissonance by finding reasons to blame others. In a sense, if he learns very differently t...

This medication made me saw little people, funny looking men coming out of my cupboard and running down the wall and ceiling...it was a bit free...

What you see is what you get and that is a good thing. He is willing to give everyone a chance and doesn't jud...

Good evening all. This looks like a wonderful site which was recommended to me by a new friend who is an adult Aspie herself. I have a young adult son (mid 20's) who was diagnosed as having autism almost 20 years ago (before an understanding of the word "spectrum" was commonplace) and though his fat...
