[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 537118"] We have always told them and talked about it in front of them. They have accepted it as normal. That is just how they are. difficult child 1 has a harder time with it than the others because he has x who tells him nothing is wrong with him, but difficult child 1 isn't stupid. He knows he is different then everyone else. He has also been through different diagnosis's so he doesn't identify with the diagnosis of autism or bipolar. He does know about his symptoms and what is different between him and his peers. difficult child 2 knows that part of his autism is that he likes to mouth everything, so when he saw Buster sticking things in his mouth he said "He is autism!" We had to explain that babies can put things in their mouths and not have autism. The way difficult child 2 said it though was that he was proud that his brother had autism like him. difficult child 2 does not like being in the life skills class though. [/QUOTE]
