[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 201652, member: 1991"] We had to learn to say "correct" instead of "right". Constantly watching to avoid ambiguity. What we had to recognise - this was not because he wanted to have fun playing with us - it's because he really was struggling with trying to understand and cope with double meanings. He found them very frustrating. At that, he's better than some Aspies; if you read "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" by Mark Haddon which is written form the point of view of a 15 year old boy with Asperger's (much more Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) than difficult child 3) the character describes how he doesn't like looking at those images that can be two different things at the same time - the Peter-Paul vase, for example. He describes how it makes his head feel to look at them. Actually, that's another good book - not to teach you anything about how to handle your child necessarily, just to give you some idea of what it CAN be like, living with Asperger's. It's a work of fiction, but a brilliant one. An award-winner, quite an easy read from one point of view. Marg [/QUOTE]
