Do your spectrum kiddos exhibit a similar pattern?

[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 387308, member: 1233"] In looking back I can see this kind of variability in [B]myself[/B]. I have long thought that if I were a child now I would very clearly be given an Aspie diagnosis, though my family feels I exhibit very few of the characteristics/problems. I worked VERY hard as a child to copy. Being hot, itchy, cold, any smell, beginning of a migraine, etc... made it very hard to function during class. I still got good grades though I had absolutely zero organizational skills. I watch Jessie and she goes through so little of what I did, as far as having a clue as to what the other kids were doing, or why, and with the extreme sensory issues. She has a harder time now with the movement disorder, but for years really didn't have any of the problems the boys showed. Even with missing about 1/2 of everything due to the seizures she coped better, which is saying something. I think few adults can really remember what any of this was like, or they want to forget just how many things bothered them as kids. Of course I think that most of the teachers who are very rigid and intolerant of our kids are that way because their own issues. I HATE when people expect a child to be able to do something with-o any problems because they were able to do it one time with-o problems. Esp if the kids are in crowded classrooms. [/QUOTE]
