    Highly functioning autism or just a strange behavior in my 10 year old?...

    Thank you! I appologized many times to the teacher, but now I think I should push back at last. She is not disruptive at all. She is just daydreaming, not paying attention, etc. Plus, I have hard time believing there is nobody in class causing more trouble, why is she after my daughter for...

    Highly functioning autism or just a strange behavior in my 10 year old?...

    Thank you for your answer! She does look happy and content at this point. And that is why I do not want to dig into it..you know? but now I am considering it, reading all the comments. This year she finally got friends at school! And she does have one very best fiend for years - a boy. They...

    Highly functioning autism or just a strange behavior in my 10 year old?...

    Thank you very much! I pretty much just to try to constantly access: do they look happy, content, open? If so, I am happy and let things be. At least now I don't feel so bad about them not hugging me much, as it was feeling like a "one-way-street" sometimes, you know? .. At least now I won't...

    Highly functioning autism or just a strange behavior in my 10 year old?...

    Wow...I am really trying to process all of this...I appreciate you and everyone being so nice and open. I knew something was off..but reading all these comments makes my hair stand up ..I start understanding that probably this is it... I never smooch my girls, you know? I will briefly hug them...

    Highly functioning autism or just a strange behavior in my 10 year old?...

    Thank you! I really try to work around her personality..and not to push. For instance, none of my kids are tactile (is there an expression like that in english?..sorry, english is my second language). They won't hug me or physically show affection much, you know? Since both of them are like...

    Thank you very much! I don't think I could describe anything as accurate and bring clarity on a difficult subject. This is very helpful!

    Highly functioning autism or just a strange behavior in my 10 year old?...

    Thank you so much!! Stupid question: why is masking bad? Isn't it learning how to adapt?..Isnt' it the same as my mom making me say "thank you" after somebody gave me candy, even if I didn't feel like it?...If it is harmful, what other solution can there possibly be?...I apologize if I am off...

    Highly functioning autism or just a strange behavior in my 10 year old?...

    Maybe I should ask this: Dear members who replied, being assesed/diagnosed, did it help you? If so, how? Or do you think it would have been better now knowing? Were there any practical exercise/ technics that actually helped?

    Highly functioning autism or just a strange behavior in my 10 year old?...

    Thank you, dear all, for answers. I agree with Misty Avich...Exactly! I don't want a label slapped on..and thats why I still did not diagnose her..She does not needs meds, so what is the point?..we are already working on all sorts of skills improvements...If it was me, I know I would have been...

    Highly functioning autism or just a strange behavior in my 10 year old?...

    I know I need to go to the doctor and ask, but since many wonderful people here might just give me some life feedback on this forum, I would highly appreciate it! My dahugher, who is now 10 has some slightly unusual behavior, and I wonder if it's simply her personality, or I should get her...
