[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 108594, member: 1991"] If your husband wants to use the computer, get him to scan the thread as well. having him on the same page is a good thing and he certainly won't be the only bloke on the site, nor the only partner either. Replies - you don't have to write a separate reply to each person, although I must admit, I'm still trying to get the hang of using quotes more efficiently also! One post, with any need to answer someone dealt with by just mentioning their name at the beginning of your sentence, should save you some time and energy (we need every bit we can scavenge!) About "The Explosive Child" - check it out, there is a website as well as discussion and extracts in various places. If you can, see if you can borrow a copy if you can't afford to just rush out an buy it. Reading a borrowed copy can give you an idea of whether you like it enough to buy a copy, or will keep looking. I ended up borrowing a copy and using that, it took me a long time to buy my own copy because we had a supply problem at the time in Australia. Fixed now! I was interested to read your answers to Beth's questions. It does sound interesting and at least hints at Asperger's as a possibility. It still might not be, but it could make a good working hypothesis for you. It also makes me wonder about any genetic component to this. If his bio-dad was affected in similar way but never had any help, it could explain his nature as well as these tendencies in his son. The sensory issues are interesting - if we're right, he will need a bit of understanding in this, he's not doing it to be difficult. But it sounds like you're already on the ball here. Be good to yourself, you're on the right track. Marg [/QUOTE]
