beckysue12121 My son is 7, and my mom suggested to me that he may have aspergers at age 2 (she is a psychologist....so, she would know). I was in denial until he was 4, then I cried for 2 days, then accepted it. And thank you for the support, it means a lot to me.

beckysue12121 My son is also 7, and he just got out of pull-ups last year (still uses them at night though). I don't think that he is actually angry when he is doing these things, he just doesn't realise that you can't be that rough with other living things. He does pick up...

beckysue12121 I have tried every method of dicipline in the book. The best thing for him is 1-2-3 lose a privelidge or a toy. The doctor says that his problem is that he is so ADHD that he tends to act purely on impulse. He lacks the mental energy to consider actions and...

He wouldn't walk. He wouldn't move. He sat down on the sidewalk and after a little started screaming. I coaxed him to move, but he would walk a couple of feet and start all over again. I picked him up because I thought he didn't...

beckysue12121 I thought he had terrets also, but the teachers and doctors say he doesn't because he seems to be just copying sounds that he likes. He doesn't maintain eye contact when he talks to people, except when he is pushing buttons and he knows it. He has been...

beckysue12121 Yeah, that's my theory too :P. He just has a lot of trouble with appropriate behavior and social situations (and he has selective hearing *snicker*).

beckysue12121 RED RUM! RED RUM! hehehe sorry. That finger thing just reminds me a little of The Shining. You would definately know if your kid is hyper. My kid is anxious about crowds. When we are in a crowd he likes to make really loud "notice me" noises. I think he thinks...

beckysue12121 All autistic kids have different behaviors. My son is 7 and has always been very very hyper and destructive. It sounds like your son doesn't have ecolalia (repeating back). Mine does. He can recite commercials and movies per betum (sp?) He also makes...

beckysue12121 Trust me, I am very aware that he is not a normal child. The thing is, that I have noticed that the other autistic children that he goes to school with don't do those kinds of things. These are behaviors that are all his own, and I was wondering at his thought...

beckysue12121 I really really wish it was that simple. Autism is a communicative disorder. So, when I did all of those things (and I have, and still do), he doesn't fully comprehend what I am talking about. He just repeats back what I say to him (echolalia), then goes back...
