[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 74023, member: 1991"] easy child 2/difficult child 2 won a writing competition when she was 11. She had a very detailed sci-fi story which she had written for school and which I sent in for her. Part of her prize was to sit with a professional author and re-work her story - it was amazing, what she came up with. Her obsessions were certain textures such as fur; teddy bears and teddy bear information. She had a few problems with schoolwork until we began medicating for ADHD when these problems reversed (while medicated) and she did well with some subjects especially, such as maths. She hated analysing test in English but is actually a lot better at it than she believes. Surprisingly, difficult child 3, fully on the autism spectrum, has written some lovely poetry this year and watches a poetry for schools program on TV which is quite advanced; he seems to follow a lot of the discussion even though it is pitched several grades above his. Most of the Aspies I know are boys. In fact, I'm finding it hard to think of any girls I know. Those that I do know wouldn't be good examples - other disabilities, or acquired autism following a car accident with serious brain damage... sorry I can't help more than this. Marg [/QUOTE]
