[QUOTE="keista, post: 477662, member: 11965"] If your mom doesn't get the AS diagnosis, adding another diagnosis isn't going to give her any more understanding. Analogy maybe? If a mosquito is buzzing around my ear, I'm going to swat it away. I will continue to swat as long as it is still buzzing. Once it stops buzzing, I'll stop swatting. While your mom may see that he stops his meltdowns because he "gets what he wants", she's not seeing or understanding what EXACTLY is causing the meltdown. In the example of leaving her house: Is her house highly decorated? doe she use excessive air fresheners? Moth balls? Not provide sufficient entertainment? Whatever the issue, she probably still won't get it because "regular kids" would be able to deal. AS kids have a shorter threshold for lots of things because we can't see the sensory problems they may be experiencing. My son has a hard time in art classrooms. He LOVES art, but the classrooms are often highly decorated. They are visually "busy". This makes it extremely difficult for him to focus in art class. Strip the classroom down, and he'll function just fine. [/QUOTE]
