    Absolutely true. We see the negative emotional mental effects more on our "normal" child than we do with our AS. Too much screen is bad, period.

    Sorry - Simmer! Didn't see your reply until after I posted mine. That is normal and as long as you guys are both on the same page, are getting counseling/help and both want everything to work out, you'll be okay. I know it must seem to you that we are determined that some sort of bullying...

    The OP may not be cognizant of the role bullying can play with AS and its capacious effects on the deepest levels of the AS' psyche, relative to that on an NT's. We weren't - that is until we saw the transformation of our child before our very eyes. He had been the victim of bullying (abuse...

    Boyfriend with Aspergers just broke up with me...

    The guy has his priorities in order. He doesn't want to waste time right now. <---- That doesn't mean you are a waste of time, you understand. Maybe he recognizes that there will be time for all that later, once he has secured his and the lucky person's (who was mature enough to see that,)...

    The doctor upped the dosage(S)? As in changing more than one medication at the time? I can see it when one med is used to control EPS, for example, your child has a track record of tolerance (i.e., its not a new med) @WittyAspie hit the nail right on the head. Each med, taken by themselves...

    I'll never know what really happened

    I'm just responding to the vibe of your post rather than looking closely at cause/effects, reactions and so forth here but - I feel like I recognize something - seen it in my mum - after she came to stay with us for a while, I've scene very similar scenarios play out in a couple of friends lives...

    What kind of music do you feel identify with, or at least you like the most?

    There's no question about it. Spot on.

    Inappropriate Aspie statements vs Plain old Rude

    Its no different with 'NTs'. Its the same. I make a joke, say something uninhibitedly out of turn, fancying myself being bold or creative and then figure out later it warnt perceived that way at all. Another one bites the dust. It's the same process. You know, honestly, most people 'NT's...

    PDD-NOS(A-Typ), Asperger's, PDA, HFA or Is It? Parenting Perspective

    I'd like to know how many parents on the board here would feel comfortable, without referring to the DSM or other medical or scientific sources, discussing these categories, types and subtypes with someone in a conversational-style question/answer session.
