My 10 year old son with Aspergers is in a gifted class and tends to handle the extra work load OK. He makes friends easily but has a hard time keeping friends. He decided a year ago to join Cubscouts and we were thrilled figuring this would help him build his social skills. He has done very well. Now he has decided to join a football team and learn an instrument (violin) and continue on with his scouting.

We are in need of a loving person to spend time with our daughter on a regular basis (Mon - Fri) sometimes weekends. Pays $8 an hour. She's a sweetheart, but, I am sick. Thanks!

My son age 3 whom is on the spectrum , is getting in the mirror and pulling his pull up to look at his private area.

Well, I personally noticed around 5th grade (11 years old). I started acting like a dog in the classroom as a way of coping with the world around me. I was originally diagnosed with Asperger's the… read more
