[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 408951, member: 3493"] My oldest boy is closest to Aspie (I believe his issues are lead poisoning related but the closest thing they are to is Aspie) and if your daughter is Aspie, she also has other stuff going on. We sent my oldest son to a BOCES HS that had an Aspie program so I have gotten to know a lot of them. Also, I went to Bronx Science in the '70's, before Asperger's was "discovered" and due to the nature of the school, there were a lot of kids who would nowadays be called Aspies but in those dates were just "nerds" and "smarties." Many kids have toilet flushing phobias. Mine never did but one of my friends has a son who couldn't be near a flushing toilet till he was a teen. He's now a grad student at a top school and they never did figure out the source of his phobia. My friend thinks peer pressure finally "cured" him - he wouldn't go to sleepovers because he didn't want other kids to know - when hanging out with friends became important enough, he dealt with flushing. He used to close the lid, flush and run out, closing the door behind him. As for the relaxation CD's, they make me want to jump out of a window. I can't stand that waterfall noise, it grates on my nerves. Maybe she just needs a different sound. Have you tried getting a book on tape that she might enjoy and let her listen to it while going to sleep? You are so determined and your daughter is so lucky to have you as her mom. [/QUOTE]
