    Ds,14, refuses to accept Aspergers

    Hmmmm... Very interesting. If I were only a bit younger, I would try this myself! I agree that anything requiring physical activity can be a great outlet for frustration and agression. Finding one that fits is the challenge. And finding one where people will accept your abilities without...

    Ds,14, refuses to accept Aspergers

    I agree there is no normal. Life is like a game to be played by certain rules. Some where, someone decided what these rules were. Then whispered them around the class room! I should have studied Sociology and phycology. It's a very fascinating cluster $&@? !!

    Ds,14, refuses to accept Aspergers

    I agree. Unfortunately we do have to conform or except the reality of who we are and say "up yours" I have tried so hard all my life to believe in that "Big Lie" that differences don't matter. I was one of the kids that in high school who tried to protect those that were different, because I...

    Ds,14, refuses to accept Aspergers

    I'm so sorry for what you went through! What type of school did you transfer to. Was it smaller? I have wished I could send my son to a Christian school (unaffordable) or home school him ( to emotionally fragile myself) I also can't get away from the thought that he would not be prepared enough...

    Ds,14, refuses to accept Aspergers

    Thanks for being very honest with me. I had never thought of it this way. (Think of them as enforcers of society's rules. If he is being teased for behavior issues, it is because they expect him to change his behavior) It makes sense. But, what if he does not have the insight to recognize his...

    Ds,14, refuses to accept Aspergers

    This is his freshman year in high school. Junior Air force ROTC. Just had a thought, I could contact his instructor to ask about outside of school activities or groups geared around ROTC. He loves everything about the military!

    Ds,14, refuses to accept Aspergers

    My son is overweight and very self conscious about it. I have tried church youth group. Offered lego group and mind craft group. His response is "No way, there are kids there from school" he is picked on a lot about his weight or " I'm really scared of meeting new people, what if they don't...

    Ds,14, refuses to accept Aspergers

    Sorry it so hard to read. I was exhausted and it shows in my thought process here. Will mentally file advice for future reference! Thanks for sharing too. I could see him doing the trailing of wanted friends. I just wish he wasn't so stubborn. Insight can bring some peace of mind. I want that...

    Ds,14, refuses to accept Aspergers

    Hi everyone. I'm new here and feeling kinda awkward. My son, 14, refuses to accept Aspergers. He doesn't want to know about it. Refuses to talk about it. All he hears is SPECIAL as in IEP. RETARD when he here's autism. He is in the evaluation process now. Diagnosed around 9 or 10 as ADHD and...
