[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 359730, member: 1991"] I only have literally two minutes to throw a reply together. You'll have to put up with my typo's. First - you did fairly well considering what you were dealing with. Autism - social skills issues don't necessarily mean "withdrawn" or "aloof". It's a misconception. difficult child 3 is very gregarious, loves people. But he doesn't know hoe to interact appropriately. She was correctwhen she said that socially, Asperger's is the same as autism. But she has an old-fashioned concept of autism, very narrow compared to more modern understqanding. Now - what oyu have to do form here - KEEP A DAILY DIARY. YOu write in it whatever happened tta day. Use it to commmunicate with the teachers. Get the teachers to also communicate back to yoyu. YOU collate it all. Take a copy to all appointments. USe the diary as a recordof her progress and problems - this can really help you pinpoint the exact problems you were describing. about tat problem - we had it too. It's very much an attention issue (as in ADHD) and also, in my opinion, very much a facet of autism too. Not all Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) kids have this, but mostly the ones who also have ADHD have some degree of difficulty with this. Also, learnnig where social issues are a peroblem - that is a stumblnig block. Also, word problems - I coach Maths andI've observed this very problem. Tere are other things you need to do - get her eyeschecked out by a developmentaloptometrist, if you can find one. You need the fine detail, she is having trouble finding the informarion andchoosing what she needs. She needs tyo be coached in how to identify what she needs. It'd adifferent mental approach. Sorry, gotta run. UI won't be back for hours, uless I get a short grap in an hour or so. If husband isn't too busy (although I'm afraid he will be today) he might fill in some gaps for you. I WILL be back to this topic. sorry about the typos I haven't even r4eadf over this. Marg [/QUOTE]
