They think that when parents or proffesionals say that a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder made improvements or can now talk or now has friends that we are claiming they are cured. No. That is not what is being said. Like what Peggy said, they will always have autism. But they may finally be able to feel accepted, loved and productive in their own right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-57160102959687135262012-08-21T08:46:23.212-07:002012-08-21T08:46:23.212-07:00I have been following the links you post in Linked...I have been following the links you post in Linked In on occasion, and I can related to much of what you are putting our there in my experience parenting Kyle. Some of the things that worked I learned the hard way, some I stumbled on by accident and a few were actually suggested by a therapist. You are doing a huge service to everyone dealing with these kids by putting this information out there – thanks for your commitment to improving the quality of life for both the Aspie’s and their parents, teachers and therapists!<br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-88749177350517338902012-08-21T05:55:53.849-07:002012-08-21T05:55:53.849-07:00My 17 month son, very active and a clever boy.

He doesn't like being looked at sometimes. I took him for a swim and he frowned when others approached to say hello to him. He pushes his niece and nephew away when with my mum in her arms. I stress he may have Aspergers and it hurts to think. Please email me back and help me through these times. My son waves at people some he doesn't even know, points at things he sees example aeroplane tractor etc. I just don't know what to think. Can asperger people be a success in life?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-73391733578764074012012-08-19T07:29:09.905-07:002012-08-19T07:29:09.905-07:00I am always looking for any advise I can get to he... I am always looking for any advise I can get to help me to help my daughter. But first a little background info... My husband Randall and I (Denise) are the parents of Drew Ana, she is 6 1/2 yrs old. We adopted her about 3 years ago but she has lived with us since just after her 1st birthday. my oldest daughter was her mother and a meth addict . She had used at least during the first couple months of her pregnancy. Drew was born at 26 weeks ( approx. 6 mo) weighing<br />2lbs 4oz. She spent 3 mo. In the NICU. She had some major lung problems and 17 transfusions. She spent the next 9 mo. with her mother who started using drugs again and went to jail. We brought Drew to our house and she has been with us ever since . She is the light of our lives.<br /> When Drew came with us we noticed she cried a lot and sometimes couldn't be consoled. We thought it was because of all the new changes in her life but as time went on we noticed things were just not normal with her. She had a lot of strange quirks for lack of a better word. Some things she would do we're, get extremely upset if she heard another baby cry, she would cry before going to sleep and want to be rocked but not touched and I would have to sing the same song over and over until she exhausted herself, we could never have family get togethers because she would get so upset we would have to ask everyone to leave, which with us having 7 other grandchildren didn't go over very well because they all thought Drew was just spoiled. Well as time has went on Drew has had a lot of different obsessions with objects, cartoon characters, ect. She was saying her ABCs before she walked and reading since she was 4yrs old. She has been diagnosed with PDD, OCD, ADHD,ODD.<br /> She Has started 1st grade this year. She goes part days in the autism class and part in her regular class. She has a very hard time using a pencil. Writing or coloring is always real challenge. She gets very upset if anyone coughs, sneezes , blows their nose, or crys . She also has a strange quirk that I call the YES NO THING, when she starts getting upset about anything she will want to do or have something she sees and will say she wants it but as soon as you give it to her she will immediately say she dose not want it then immediately say she does, this may go on for long periods of time and turn into being everything that is said or done she wants to do or say. It's very exhausting to her and us. I know that may be hard to understand but putting it into words is very hard as well. I've never heard of anyone else with this particular quirk and wonder if you would have any suggestions on how to help me help her control this. It is so hard to help her come out of this she it usually screaming and stiffening up her body and jumping up and dropping to her knees a typical meltdown I guess. There is so much more but I've already written so much, any help would be appreciated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-30855938686494271572012-08-18T05:46:02.531-07:002012-08-18T05:46:02.531-07:00Dear Mr. Hutten,

H...My son Stephen is 15 and has Aspergers Syndrome. He has come a long way but he still has a lot of symptoms that usually get better by this age. He still jumps, rocks, claps his hands, makes noises. He still has a lot of sensory issues and trouble talking with people (except his parents and close relatives). He is incredibly book smart and always does well academically but socially and in other basic ways he struggles. In his teenage years, he has developed a lot of irrational fears. For instance, if he gets a paper cut he is afraid it may affect his brain and he could die. He is also scared of things like fire, disease, etc. I know he is at that age where hormones don’t help and his father and I have tried to comfort him regarding his fears. I feel so terrible for him and I don’t know what else to do to help. I wondered if you had heard of this with other children with AS and I wondered if you knew of anything we could do with him that would help. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
