[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 189835, member: 3907"] Michele, Manster's meltdown sounds like AS to me. I do agree that a neuropsychologist evaluation will help to unlock some of the mysteries. I also want to add in a little Aspie perspective... When I'm feeling "off" (very hungry, or tired, or spun out after an unusually active day, or too much sensory input, etc.) then little things will set me off that I would normally be able to deal with. If there's something about the way in which your husband leaves the computer that seems askew to your Manster, then after an exciting day with his friend, the computer might need to be "reset" (cleaned, straightened, rebooted...whatever it is) before he can feel comfortable using it. Same thing with the PJ bottoms. It's difficult to pinpoint what it is, but it just doesn't feel right. An example: husband folds the laundry. I will re-fold it because he does the shirts differently than I do. There's nothing inherently wrong with the way he does them. I just can't handle having shirts folded that way. (I also "fix" all the paper towel and toilet paper rolls, line up the shoes, etc.) It took me years before I was able to understand or articulate any of this. At 9, Manster may not really have a handle on what's going on inside his head. He just knows it's not "right" and he knows what has to be done to "fix" it. There are definitely Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) elements to all of this. I hope some of this helps... Trinity [/QUOTE]
