[QUOTE="Shari, post: 258026, member: 1848"] With regards to the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) thing...I saw the show on Discovery about the 6 kids in one family. *** Until then, I had resigned to this not being a case of a spectrum disorder. So I was happily sitting at home one night, 5 or 6 months after the last wasted neuropsyche evaluation that said he's "just ADD", and my phone rang, and a friend was frantically on the other end saying "your difficult child is on Discovery! This kid is just like him!" So I watched. And it is. I see it all the time...kids who are little carbon copies of my difficult child, diagnosis'ed with some Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Yet mine is not. And I'm not sure why. *** The boy on the show was in 1st or 2nd grade and I beleive they called him Aspergers. I don't know, its just very frustrating to have this continually surface, and not just with you guys, with other professionals, as well. *** He is also obsessed with guns and we don't watch violent stuff with him and haven't. He's infatuated by his brother, who's in the military, but he really has no concept of what it is. But the only imagination he had/has is guns. He doesn't watch Star Wars, can't watch anything "scarey" (101 Dalmations is too scarey), but gun guns guns! Its crazy. [/QUOTE]
