[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 543278"] It took a lot of concentration and practice to do it right even half the time. I'm no where near "great" at it yet but I do the best I can. And you're right, some days and some situations, there is NO way to phrase it the correct way. We can only do what we can do. As for "questioning" the Aspie diagnosis, difficult child 1 also always has a friend to hang out with. His symptoms also became VERY apparent and more pronounced in the last year. He has always been an Aspie but puberty put the symptoms front and center. Know what I mean?? difficult child 1 does well with friends that share his interests. If his interest changes, he hangs around different friends. Which friend he hangs around depends on what his interest is at that particular day. He has also dropped friendships if they don't agree with HIM about something. He isn't able to see their point of view and if they don't agree with him they are wrong and he won't talk to them anymore. To him, friendships are just people to do things with. There is no "bond". He's also VERY gullible to "friends". He's paid for things for "friends" because they promise they will pay him back and he believes them and then he's broke and absolutely refuses to believe he'll never get that money back. One of them has been over 5 years and not a dime. He just doesn't get the whole friend concept at all. Sorry I got off on a tangent. Puberty does some very strange things but, in our case, Aspie became much more apparent and there was no denying that's what it was. When he was younger, the signs were there but in milder form.
