| I suck at group work. I like doing my own thing and getting it done as soon as the assignment has been set so i can get the lecturer to proof read and make suggestions. I hate leaving things to the last minute. I am doing a subject that is 100 percent group work based. It is an online subject and s... |

| I agree with Chronos that one should try all means possible but if you can't resolve it to speak to the instructor. Maybe he will work out a way you can hand your stuff in separately to those who aren't participating.... |

| Sorry I'm quite late to reply. Since I decided not to increase the meds and the ASD team will see him towards the end of the month and I've been dealing with things for a little (issues with my daughter's teacher now). The doctor "says" because he has Asperger as well as ADHD, these children tend to... |

| So here I'm reading and reading and I happily come to the conclusion that my son DOES stim. When he plays video games he can not sit, he jumps up and down and I used to swear he though it was going to help him get further but after reading about verbal stimming and reading more and more on stimming.... |

| hi all- I went through some of my papers and found something my son's speech therapist had given me on verbal perseveration. This is what she called it. I guess perseveration is "getting stuck on things" Anyway, I read back over it, and decided to share it in hopes that maybe it will help someone e... |

If he doesn't have clippers, he picks even worse. He is very hairy and he picks at his skin, any little imperfection, real or i... |

| For my son it's very painful to watch him write. We had a psychoed done in Grade 5 (he's now in Gr. 7) and learned that there was several reasons for troubles. 1. Visual Processing speed issues - He can't put down from his head to paper as it takes him a while to clearly say what he means. 2. Expres... |

New year starts and we'll move on from this experience. My son has had facebook for about a year (he's 14). We have lots of... |
