[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 121694, member: 1991"] Also, another reference for you - look up "Tony Attwood". He writes some very positive things about autism and Asperger's especially. Also, a serious suggestion - try to not use your real names or real (detailed) location in your posts. Probably not an issue for now, but your personal security is important. For example, you are probably not the only people in Long Island with a son like yours, of that age with those symptoms. But when you factor in the names, someone COULD narrow it down further. For me, the biggest reason I've hid my identity is so I can't have my posts searched for by any teachers or educators who want to know what I'm up to. They could Google my real name for example (if I used it) and once here, could track everything I write, including all my complaints about them as well as my intentions (such as my campaign in 2006 for a Special Education class in our area specifically for kids with high-functioning autism (which frankly, sounds like your lad). Am I being paranoid? Maybe - but I wrote stuff in the past which was published in a journal for parents of bright kids (and later picked up and re-published in a book - no, I never got paid) and found that the problem teachers at the local school had circulated it around to their colleagues. I've written other articles since, but was more careful to not 'vent' in those. And I also got cyberstalked a couple of times and it was very unpleasant. So I hide my ID, try to not put anything here that could be Googled to find me. However, a committed search FROM THIS SITE could find me easily. So I don't tell these people about this site. It leaves me free to share with you all the occasional reference to our little seaside village. Marg [/QUOTE]
