[QUOTE="nvts, post: 182439, member: 3814"] What you have to do is throw out the whole "Aspies are a certain way" thought process and embrace the fact that there are differences throughout the Aspie diagnosis. Basically, when I'm describing Asperger's to people, I tell them that it's a "spectrum within the Spectrum". My boys both are diagnosed as Aspergers and they're like night and day! One presents as angry, ODD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), ADHD, and can basically be a major league pain in the , well, you know where I'm going with that! He's brilliant, but has learning disabilities that prevent him from displaying his intellect on paper. The other is kind, empathetic, happy go lucky, and is brilliant! He's had 100+ on all spelling tests through the year, was told to memorize his 3 times tables and knew them before he got off the bus. He had a speech delay and still has strange verbal tendencies, so people assume he's not very bright. So accept that she is who she is. Relegate yourself to the fact that you can only treat symptoms with medications. Look into Social Skills classes they truly make a difference. I found a fantastic website [URL]http://www.sandbox-learning.com[/URL], that allows you to personalize social stories. They even let you do a free sample that you print on your easy child to see if your child likes it. difficult child 2 LOVED IT! difficult child 1 was furious that I hadn't experimented with HIS information! Keep reading about the syndrome! You'll be amazed at how much info. there is on it! Beth [/QUOTE]
