| I wanted to add this, I have met people in the past who immediately took a dislike to me, who, when at some point in our interactions, some of my aspie traits became apparent, took it upon themselves to explain my behavior to others. It was never in a positive light, at best it was pitying. It alway... |

| I think what's meant by NT children showing aspie signs is that AS traits show up in a normal distribution. All people have autistic tendencies, a tiny minority has enough to a severe enough extent that they fall within the spectrum. I'm on the same page as you actually, where I question whether I a... |

Maybe they were afraid of the potential embarrasment, not necessarily of you physically.

| Yeah, it was surprising to me too. For me, social anxiety has always gotten in the way of building all types of relationships. It's funny, though, I have in the past been perceived as hypersexual by others. I have no patience for people who pretend that women have no sex drives or should hide them. ... |

| The reason your daughter might have been upset about not getting to play with the cat is because it might have been an unexpected request. It might have seen unfair to her, because she expected an equal chance to get to play with the cat and suddenly she found it had implicitly been her sister's tur... |

| Thirteenboats - we had to get rid of the internet because the drama online got her in trouble with the police when she decided to protect her friend and then her sister from online bullies. My daughter isn't really ready to read about autism and what it means for her. But she will be in an asperger... |

| Today I basically gave another parent the same advice I'm going ot give now: does your kid know about the internet? For me, as former insuferable brat (although given the circumstances it was understandable), good enough resources and advice was what helped me the most. You can't help your daughter ... |

| If provoked he will react quite strongly (ie with my Mother in Law), even if he doesn't vocalize or says he's fine I can sense a level of frustration within him for not being what he really wanted in life (he doesn't even like to be Asian, and dyes his hair blonde). I've never known him to have any... |

| Does your son know that there are people online his age that also have selective mutism? Tumblr specifically has, not necessarily a community of selectively mute people, but the biggest online presence of SM people I have found. This would have been huge for me when I was a teen (I also have SM). Al... |
