[QUOTE="ML, post: 389646"] One thing I like to remember is that our kids are not aspergers, they are not defined by it. Having said that, there are some commonalities. The first of which is anxiety. This anxiety manfiests in different ways and can look like extreme defiance but often these kids are just afraid. Manster is bright and funny and has a wicked sense of humor. He makes his friends laugh all the time. He doesn't like attention brought to him and embarasses easily. He also has adhd and mild tourettes so I think his behavior is worse than those with just AS. Luckily he is a street angel/house devil and saves his meltdowns for home. Don't even let anyone tell you aspies don't have emotions. They simply have trouble regulating them and expressing them. Actually I think they are often more sensitive than average. Manster is a great cook and a talented writer. He is also complicated and challenging and has been my greatest teacher on many levels. I look forward to hearing from others. [/QUOTE]
