[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 400688, member: 1991"] When it comes to describing Asperger's and high-functioning autism, I have a head start - I raised a house full! On the subject of Asperger's and putting them in pigeonholes and reducing expectations - in our house, Asperger's/autism is seen as a gift. It brings capabilities and talents which need to be valued and used. Yes, there are disadvantages and hurdles to be overcome, but you can't have it all one way. In balance, my kids are happy to be Aspie/autistic. That is how we taught them. I got VERY cranky with scripture teacher (a school subject here) who prayed with difficult child 3 that his autism would be healed. She is a lovely friend, she did it out of love, but it sent him a very bad message on so many levels. Thankfully it did no lasting damage that I was notable to undo. Marg [/QUOTE]
