    Being Bossed Around

    People don’t usually get mad when you “set boundaries” (when you tell them you don’t need help, etc.) They get mad when you get mad. Unfortunately you can’t always control that. I would apologize for getting mad. Since you walked off, it’s on you. You don’t have to explain - less is better...

    Teaching HFA - executive function limitations

    Sorry if this is overkill. I found an example today, that is very illustrative. Someone on facebook posted a "meme" with a math question something like this: 50+50-25x0+2+2= ? The answer is dependent upon the order of operations. The question does not contain the information necessary...

    Neuropsychological Testing, IQ, WAIS / WISC, etc.

    I skimmed through some of the articles above. There are some interesting points. What I really wanted to get at was simply a better understanding of the tests themselves. The tests are tasks that you have to do, and your scores are how well you did on that task. (Note: That's not the same as...

    Neuropsychological Testing, IQ, WAIS / WISC, etc.

    I'm starting a separate thread on this. I was looking at my old WAIS-IV test scores. I didn't really know what they meant. The psychologist explained the test, but it wasn't enough. I looked for more information about the tests and what they are supposed to measure. I hope the links are...

    Teaching HFA - executive function limitations

    This may not help, but for what it's worth. What follows is an attempt to explain one source of frustration your students may be experiencing. I have some sort of dyscalculia. I make all kinds of dumb mistakes doing arithmetic. I also have information processing and working memory deficits...

    My gf's friend wants me to meet her autistic child... is it a good idea?

    It sounds to me like you are putting too much responsibility on yourself, and that is causing you to over think. He may want to read or play video games by himself the whole time. He may be like, "Who's this old adult looking guy with the Nirvana tee shirt?" (I made that up.) LOL It's ok...

    Do you believe in IQ?

    I was just looking over my neuropsych tests. This is what I have been thinking... The question isn't so much "Is it real?", as "What is it?" IQ is a (apparently) good predictor of certain things, and is (apparently) stable, so it must be something. The first thing is that it's more than...

    My gf's friend wants me to meet her autistic child... is it a good idea?

    I think it's a great idea for you to meet them. You don't have to say anything in particular, and you don't have to make a commitment. It may be upsetting for you, but it may also be fun. You don't have to "trauma bond". When you see him, you'll be aware that he's a different person than you...
