    My son: Aspergers?....School issues

    His testing came back with a big old negative on the Aspergers DX. I don't agree even in the slightest. But what can I do. He has insurance. But in order to get him tested we had to pay out of pocket because we could find no providers that accepted our insurance that would do the testing. 3...

    My son: Aspergers?....School issues

    Duct tape, velcro, I'll take anything at this point. :-). I would love to teach honestly. I had my boy reading by the time he was 2. :). I have been a parent volunteer almost every year since he's been in school. I love working with kids. As long as it's other people's kiddos that I can send...

    I'm not sure how that could be implemented for him. It would be nice if his homewor

    My son: Aspergers?....School issues

    I just had a conversation with him a few nights ago about the possibility of this diagnoses. His response was not positive initially. He says that some kids have said people who are Autistic because they were "dropped on their heads when they were a baby." I corrected that thought process. I...

    My son: Aspergers?....School issues

    We had an appt with a psychologist today. Finally. He feels like we are on the right track and that the bipolar and ODD dx's he has had don't fit the profile for his issues. We scheduled his testing on the 31st. A three hour block of time. Wish it were sooner. I know we have waited forever...

    My son: Aspergers?....School issues

    From the start of school until the current, I have been in more parent meetings than I care to count. He has been pulled out of class so frequently for his meltdowns. Not anger, but tears, and LOTS of them. He has to be sent to the hall where it can take him anywhere from 45 minutes to an...

    My son: Aspergers?....School issues

    Shockingly, they are still allowed. But eventually they probably won't be. He has a nice bookbag. One with several different compartments. Will he use it? HAH. He took it to school the first week and I didn't see it again until 2 weeks ago when I had to be at the school and I picked it up...

    My son: Aspergers?....School issues

    He's almost 12, So I have a hard time reconciling with the fact that I STILL have to do this stuff for him. That being said, it doesn't mean I won't and/or haven't done it. That's a method is practice that we have used for the last 3 years. It doesn't stick anymore than him remembering to...

    Please advise: what activities / hobbies for my 8-year old son with Aspergers?

    I second martial arts. My son recently started and it is the first physical activity I have really seen him enjoy. It definitely fosters respect and a sense of self accomplishment. And also works well as an outlet for the energy and emotions. I also think it is great in that his instructor...

    My son: Aspergers?....School issues

    He does. He has binders for each specific class to keep things in. But he wont use them or bring them home. Homework comes home as loose papers that he usually gets done and then manages to lose somewhere between the school bus and school the next day. We've argued over binder use until Im blue...

    My son: Aspergers?....School issues

    In response to blowing it off... The major project he got a bad grade on was because he decided that he didn't need to bring it home over the weekend and work on it. So, in essence, he kind of is blowing it off. The two missed assignments though, were both lost and thus not turned in. But...

    My son: Aspergers?....School issues

    Wow. The NVLD applies very strongly as well. He is almost 12 and JUST learned to ride a bike last year. Still can't tie his shoe to save his life. Definitely has the advanced vocab. No common sense at all. Coordination is non-existent. On and on. I have been in touch with a dr that does...

    My son: Aspergers?....School issues

    Hi everyone. This is my first post and I will probably write a small book. I am apologizing in advance for that! I'm not even sure where to start. I have a bunch of jumbled thoughts that are trying hard to be cohesive. First let me say that I joined this forum because of my 11 year old. I've...
