[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 14038, member: 3419"] "I'm getting better at pretending to be normal." Ohhhhh! Makes me want to hug him. Can't believe that counselor really said that-- he's no longer autistic--arrgh! How do they get their jobs? TiredMommy, thank you for that list. Chris is right on the border for some of those. He's always right in the middle. No clear pattern. It's very frustrating. It's not like I WANT him to have something, it's just that it would make life easier. It's possible it's a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) and not Aspberger's... but the child psychiatric is always telling him, "Eyeballs," when he wants his attention. Little things like that add up. How do you know when it's just a kid who doesn't want to confront, or when they CAN'T? I suggested to the child psychiatric that we take Chris to a neurologist and he said he'd give it some more thought... especially when I told him about tearing up phonebooks, and rocking and crying at the Rainforest Cafe. It's so hard when you only see the kid for 50 min. every 3 wks. Sigh. Chris DOES come up and show me things he's excited about, but that' something new that he's only done this year. (He's 10.) When he was little he always separated himself from his peers at birthday parties and we had quite a to-do about it, since I thought he was just being ill-mannered. (If I could only go back in time... sigh.) Thank you all. [/QUOTE]
