[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 296636, member: 1963"] I AM an Aspie (high functioning). I am also 49 years old and was only diagnosed at 42. AS and High-Functioning Autism (HFA) (High Functioning Autism) run VERY much in families. So much so that despite these higher functioning forms of the spectrum being recognized as a kid, my parents recognized me as "another one" and did a pretty good job of raising me. My mother and maternal grandfather are Aspies. Interestingly, my late husband was diagnosis with-ADD but was definitely "spectrumish". He did not get the unofficial interventions that I got as a given, but had both a very successful military career and went on to become a chef before he died. In both cases he needed jobs where there were definite rules. I can't speak for the inappropriate urination as I actually trained very early due to not being able to tolerated the sensation of diapers (I predate disposables). You might want to read up on Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) (Sensory Integration Disorder) as this very often goes along with AS and can involve everything from clothing textures to feeding difficulties. I should have PMs available on my profile. Feel free to send me any questions you might have and I will be happy to try to answer them for you. Do be aware that I might not be up to date on the current handling of AS and Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) kids. I learned to play normal the hard way and for many years my biggest handicap has been the bipolar disorder that can sometimes accompany AS syndromes. HTH toK [/QUOTE]
