[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 65550, member: 3419"] Wow, what an interesting bb! The aspies on there are so eloquent and some of the posts so poignant. I like the posts that say they wish that when they were kids, their parents had sent them to special socialization camps instead of regular camps. The ones about the parents fighting, or putting on airs in public--hey, that could be any kid's complaint. The more I read, the more I think my son is not an aspie. He makes friends easily, although prefers to be introduced by someone else, such as a parent or teacher. He has many long term friends, i.e. school friends that he continues to see during the summer. He is a bit quirky and lousy at returning phone calls because he wants a concrete reason to call, such as a playdate, instead of just returning a call to chat. He met a girl at sleepaway camp last month and asked her to the Fri. night dance. She was lifting her tray in the lunchroom and was about to drop it, and he caught it and then asked her to the dance. Pretty smooth for a 10-yr-old. I realize that not all kids have the "accent," but he definitely speaks clearly and enunciates properly to the point where people comment on how well-spoken he is. He doesn't like being touched first thing in the a.m, but once his Adderal has kicked in, he's fine. If he approaches you for a hug, then it's okay. But he has to initiate it. If he misses a dose, he is hyper, of course, but his physicality becomes even more pronounced, where he plays very roughly and almost craves hard physical contact--wrestling, hitting, tickling, etc., all while he's moving like the Tasmanian devil. He's definitely got a few pages to himself in "The Out of Synch Child," in regard to sensory issues. He likes very hard squeezing and hugging. He does not like spinning (we tried the spinning test for vestibular issues, and he said "stop" almost immediately). At any rate, difficult child is improving, and does well on Adderal, and I try to take it one day at a time. [/QUOTE]
