"Acceptance" for me is a daily goal. DD, age 12, has been diagnosed with Asperger's for a couple of years now but I have worked on my ability to accept her differences for far longer than that. Some days are better than others. I am a Type "A" neurosis personality. Like someone else said, I had a tu...

Wow, "tolerate" is definately a word I would use to describe what my DD seems to do on a daily basis with most people at school. I think she has already realized that most girls her age are of no interest to her. She seems very much like you so I appreciate the insight into her world.

I think the answer may be all of the above based on what I have seen over the last few years but those are all good areas of discussion I will make a point to discuss at the next session. Thanks!

My 12 year old Aspie daughter finally revealed in therapy last week that she actively chooses not to talk to other students at school so that she isn't put into a position where she may be aggressive. Proud of her on one hand that she recognizes the fact that she is quick to anger and this is one of...

Minera, Could you get an IEP (Individualized Education Plan) instead of a 504? In the IEP ask for all testing to be done in a quiet room with only a teacher and your child. The school can absolutely provide this and likely already does to other kids. It works well for some! (To get an IEP, you just...

Just found this board. My daughter was diagnosed with Asperger's last year. She is in middle school, and our life in general is a daily juggle and I am the clown who obviously isn't very good at juggling :roll: . Everywhere else in my life is a lesson of control, got it all together, very type "A" p...
