    Medication for Social Anxiety?

    My 12 year old son is an aspie..Up until now I’ve been able to foster relationships for him with other kids. He was always well liked and had a nice group of friends. Now that he’s getting older I can’t be so involved in his social life. He’s starting to isolate himself and isn’t initiating any...

    Need advice from Aspies about my son

    I thought that people on the spectrum could have OCD as well? He definitely is autistic but if he needs to follow his list precisely. He types out all sorts of schedules and puts them up on the wall. He thinks it's pretty funny when I react in disbelief to another list, method, schedule or...

    Need advice from Aspies about my son

    Thank you. Interesting idea that people on the spectrum don't need as much sleep. He seems to function fine during the day on the sleep that he gets. It would be nice to stop worrying about that!

    Need advice from Aspies about my son

    I’ll try to talk to him when he’s calm. It’s just that he’s so stubborn and insists on doing things his way.

    Need advice from Aspies about my son

    He does everything on his own. I offer to help him but he doesn’t want any of my help! I don’t know how he gets through the day without falling asleep. I know he only gets about 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night.

    Need advice from Aspies about my son

    I agree that he doesn’t get enough sleep. He insists that he needs three hours in the morning. I know this includes showering, “chill time“, “eating mints” (it’s on his list ‍♀️), reading, going to the bathroom etc.. He already makes his lunch, picks out his clothes and organizes his backpack...

    Need advice from Aspies about my son

    My 12 year old Aspie son has a routine every morning before he goes to school. He needs 3 hours to complete his list until he leaves the house precisely at 7:06. He created this for himself and it works very well for him. This morning though, he slept through his alarm and panicked like I’ve...

    Aspie always wants to wear glasses

    We had some, made in China, that his doc said we’re not as effective. So, I got rid of those. Maybe she just wanted us to buy some from her? But that’s a good idea, I know where to get a backup. Thank you!

    Aspie always wants to wear glasses

    I just didn’t want him to become dependent on them. Whether it’s a watch or a sweatshirt, he tends to obsess on wearing certain items. I just wish he could be a little bit more flexible. His glasses might break, his sweatshirt might not be washed etc. What will he do when that happens and I’m...
