[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 258343, member: 1550"] You can't treat him the same. He is different. My son knows he thinks differently and has gone for counseling to understand his disorder. However, we never dwell on "You are different" to him. He isn't let off the hook in ways such as chores because he's an Aspie. It's so individual. in my opinion it would help you to get counseling about Aspergers Syndrome. He doesn't think like other kids/adults. I think you need education on this disorder. There are some things that you can do the same and some that don't work with Aspies. Treating him "the same" won't change him. He will make progress at his own rate. Most parents treat Aspies as their ability allows--both emotionally and in every way. Each Aspie is different. That makes it hard for us to know if your ex is doing the right or wrong thing. It all depends on where this child is at, intellectually, developmentally (usually they are much younger emotionally and should be treated that way--they WILL progress). Is your son getting any interventions in school? That's what helped my son the most--his IEP at school. He's come a long way. [/QUOTE]
