He also loves The Walking Dead, politics and music from different eras and genres. Most kids his age couldn't care less about thes... |

| So very true! I think a lot of people hear the word autism and think that ALL autistic people are alike. The do the same things, eat the same foods, etc. Unbelievable! |

Bless your heart! Thankfully, my son was never one to lash out physically. He's a big guy, too. As I have no experience with this type of behavior, I feel unqualified to answer, but just wanted you to know that I hope it gets better for you.  |

TenPence, thanks so much for the welcome! My son is having a hard time with puberty piled on top of the fact that he has no friends and it's his first year in high school. I feel so bad for him.
BlueJacket, thank you!
Mikassyna, I love meeting writers, too! |

| In my opinion, the only part of Rainman I could relate to as far as MY son's autism was the rocking back and forth and repeating of words or phrases. He doesn't have echolalia anymore, but he still rocks and stims from time to time. |

| I watch BBT and I would say Sheldon definitely has aspie symptoms - at least compared to what I've seen with my son. |

| Welcome 31rc! I'm new here, as well. I think the research you are doing with your college is a wonderful idea. My son, who is 15 and has autism, will be journeying to college in a few years and I can't help but worry about him in that totally different (and more independent) environment. It's nice t... |
