@Autistic, you are not like my daughter, husband or his high-functioning ASD family. They lie all the time. They are dishonest. They manipulate and push people into a corner with threats. They say… read more

Is it weird that I'm a bit nervous if my son will ever achieve a full life on his own without me when he is older? I feel like that is just wrong of me. I love my son, I'm just scared to see how it will turn out. & what I mean by a full life, I mean a family of his own, girlfriends, sports, etc. all the things we anticipate for our kids before their diagnosis. I know it's still possible, I just feel nervous, scared, what if it doesn't, because asd prevents it. :/
Hi there!
My name is Shayna Gier, and I wasn't diagnosed until after I had graduated, had a job, dated, and gotten married.
However, not being diagnosed is not the same as not being autistic. I… read more
I agree with another commenter here that you shouldn’t worry about what other parents or caregivers say. You are the most important, and knowledgeable person on your own child’s needs. I have a 5 year… read more
Hello autism team family- what types of places would be good to take your high functioning child to help with social settings, anxiety, etc.She has a hard time with social skills .
Oh wow HaliieMiddlebrooks, I didn't know that Ill have to check into that. Thanks!
We want our daughter to have a sibling bond, no cousins around us.. We switch between "it's too much" to "it will be worth it".. Anyone with multiple kids? Only one? What are your thoughts?
Sometimes I do,but overall I think my husband and I made the right decision. I think you will have to have a list of pros and cons and see which side wins.
My partner is always sayin that I don't see my step son for what he is. Meaning that I don't understand that he has Aspergers. That I view him as my son,normal. Thats not the case. This is our first year together and birthdays are here. My son is very out going and has friends from school. Where as my step son is home schooled and doesn't have friends. Note he has been home schooled for the last two years. And they always keep him home. So there is no interacting with other children. But with… read more
I think you need ask yourself why you are in this relationship.
Is there anything besides medication that helps your child with noises they don't like? My son is 6 and hates when I cough or the dog barks ect. He yells when he heres it. Thanks all in advance for your time and input.
I know my son has used noise cancelling headphones for unpleasant noises. My neurotypical daughter has a harder time with noises than he does and she just covers her ears with her hands.
I found this… read more
Autism, We have had to stand outside the last two funerals and now today a wedding due to running away, meltdowns, yelling
Thanks for the notes, appreciate the camaraderie in this situation
I have a group of friends who have been such great mom friends. But ever since Johns Diagnosis they seem to not be as helpful. They don’t quite understand the demands of therapy and ABA and the schedule juggling. They try to help but often I find them more annoying then helpful. They even try to talk to me about their Neurotypical kiddos problems at school and I try to help but also find myself getting annoyed at there problems as well. Does anyone else feel this way. Is it part of the process… read more
Thank you this makes me feel less alone that I feel this way. My friends are great moms but I sometimes wish their biggest struggles are only half of what I have to deal with on a day to day.
