[QUOTE="Raining, post: 69077, member: 1672"] Does your son blank out on purpose sometimes? I noticed that my difficult child does the blank look on purpose because she knows it irritates me and gives her more attention. I can tell between the actual blank look and the fake one by the look in her eyes. If there is 'life' behind them, I know she is doing it on purpose. If there isnt, then she is having a regular blank look day. She is very intelligent and sometimes knows what she is doing. I did not know pica is common with aspergers. First time I caught her doing it was at about 4 years old or so. Then she stopped (or so I thought, turns out she was able to hide it from me real well) but I have been catching her doing it a lot more lately. Marbles, paper, rocks, buttons, bottle caps. Basically anything small enough to go in her mouth. Something gross, difficult child picks her nose and eats her boogers (gag). Is that part of the pica too? Her bio dad admits he did that too until he was about 15 or so. But to be honest I think he probably still does it now but wont admit it. Im 98% sure bio dad doesnt have pica. Bio dad and difficult child thinks its because of the salt taste. Or at least that is what she claims she likes about it. Only good news I have for today is that so far she is doing ok in school. But she could not doing good and I just dont know about it yet though. We will see. Parent teacher conference is coming up soon so I will find out then. Should I warn the teachers about her ADHD? I dont want to put a preconceived notion in their heads, but I do want to kind of warn them why she is the way she is. I havent started her IEP yet so as far as they know, she is "normal". [/QUOTE]
