| Hi folks Some time ago I found a link on here posted by the creator of a comic strip. It was about an ASD boy and his family. He had a well meaning hippy neighbour, and I think his grandparents lived with them as well. Can anyone point me to it? I've searched the forums for every key word I can thin... |

| My 3.5 year old has a growing fixation with my feet. To start with he liked to tickle them, that moved on to arranging them in different positions while I am sitting. I didn't mind as he has had a lot of different fixations that he's grown out of. However now he is starting to rub his face on them, ... |

| If it were me, I'd contact my local autism support place, and find out where the local playgroups are being held. If they haven't got any for my child's age, I'd ask them to put me in contact with other parents. Then I'd do my best to arrange a weekly playdate. Like you, I prefer my own company, but... |

Besides one app from kindergarten.com called 'actions', I haven't been able to find any that will help my son with his verbs. Can anyone suggest any? And while you're at it, any general apps you find good for... |

| To be honest, it sounds to me like you're describing most teenagers. I hated living with my parents too. They had nothing of interest to say to me, they were not remotely fun to be around, they made me go to school, clean up, it was HELL! So think about it from that aspect. Most teenagers hate their... |

If you're worried about nutrition, ask yourself if she's getting good nutrients from the other daily meals. If she is, then what's the problem? She's a p... |

| My son isn't old enough for me to answer that question as a parent, but as an ex-child, I've gotta say that sounds pretty normal. Our parents screw up in so many ways, this is just one of the ways yours is screwing up in your eyes. It's weird, we go through different stages of relationships with our... |

| So it's common for ASD kids to like Thomas? I didn't know that. For his second birthday I didn't know what kind of cake to make my son, so made a point of introducing him to Thomas the Tank Engine, just because the second birthday had made me aware that he had no interests to speak of, and I wanted ... |

| Your post might as well be about my son (moderate ASD). We took him to the developmental paediatrician expecting him to tell us he had ADHD, and possibly dyslexia. We were shocked that he diagnosed ASD, because he's affectionate, and other things that we thought ASD kids were not. It turns out there... |

| As an example, you might expect one child to do chores, but the special needs child gets let off, they get things easier in those aspects... That is not precisely true. My 12 years-old Aspie daughter cleans her room, makes her bed, knows how to cook, how to hand wash and how to iron her uniforms. S... |

We used to turn on baby einstein for him when he was younger to try and get a moment to eat our dinner in peace. Initially he wasn't interested, then he started showing a bit of interest, which grew over time t... |

| We have a three year old son with moderate autism. Initially shocked, we were expecting a diagnosis of ADHD instead. After that, I suppose mostly sad, and scared. Sad that our little guy will find life harder than other kids. All the things you dreamed of for your child seem further out of reach, an... |
