What happens when you become a teenager

What needs to happen: all Aspie kids should be given guns to take down the bullies.

I heard some news story many years ago that a child wrote a letter to Charles Manson (a serial killer who was in jail) to deal with his school bullies. Maybe you people might like to give that a try...

As far as aspie kids being given guns to take down the bullies, isn't that what caused those school shootings in America I sometimes hear about? (Oh wait, of course not, it was the video games they played, that was the problem... That was sarcasm btw. )

It was.

You get zits. And they still don't go away when you're 42.
...having a bad zit day...

I know. Zits suck.

When I was at primary school I was the first kid in class to have zits and I was payed out about it... But it also meant they went away early. The best way to deal with them is to wash your face consistently... Don't focus on the pimple spots, just do your whole face normal and do a decent job regularly... That's how they went away for me.

Thanks comrade.

Well they stopped when I did that, but can't promise anything for anyone else... At first I think there's not too many ways to stop them.

Oh. So it may not work? Damn!

I am 16 years old, and I was diagnosed with Aspergers when I was 9. I knew I was different then, but it never really held me down. Your son may have a different side of the syndrome than girls do, since girls, I've read, know how to socialize a little more than boys do. But generally, he will most likely find some people who are similar to him, and hang out with them. One of the best groups to hang out with is the band. Band is a structured place (which is good for people with AS), it also is fun, and you learn social and life skills (I learn some while on band trips); I have learned more life skills in band than any of my other classes in high school so far. It also teaches them to cope and work together with others, which is such an important skill to learn. You could get some of that from other groups at school, but band by far was the best for me. Oh yeah, will he be able to drive a car, it depends on what needs your son has (like what level of coordination and motor skills he has, and if he gets too freaked out and stuff); I still haven't taken the test or drivers-ed., but I can tell you I am scared to drive from the fear of getting lost. I want to learn to drive, though, because it will be useful. Will he have a girlfriend, it all depends on how mature your son will be when he becomes a teenager. You have to remember that people with AS tend to develop emotionally later than usual, so your son may not be interested in girls until he hits his 20's or something. Although, there are some of us who develop an interest in the opposite sex earlier than that. It all depends on the circumstances and the choices and the wants that your son has. Hope this will be helpful to you.

He may end up befriending some of the popular people, but dislike it slightly as he feels they are not that awesome.

And when you reech 16, you find out your soul mate hates you, and you want to die...

*Hugs.* I wish I could help you.

Thanks...
