Guest guest Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Reminds me of (9 years old, aspergers) when he was about 4 and a half. We took him to visit my parents and one day he was playing in their basement. We checked on him and he had taken every video off the shelf and they were lined up on their sides, end to end all over the basement. It really was a feat of engineering!!! He's nine now and doesn't line up stuff so much any more all though he does like certain things to be in a certain place. Estevan, SK Canada -- Re: Question... OMG, is lining up toys part of the spectrum? My son is now 9 yrs old. He hit all his milestones within acceptable timelines, except maybe for potty training. As a toddler, he would line up all of his cars. I have a picture of him w/ all his cars & trucks lined up on the couch LOL!! He had a little ride-on tractor, and one day it "broke". For weeks it was on its side, and he would use his tools to "mend" the tractor. Then one day I hear, "It's fixed!" and off he went. My Bro & SIL, who are engineers, said, "That's an engineer!!" I do suspect that my bro & I have a bit of Aspergers. in Milwaukee Re: Question... My daughter is 3 now. When she was 2 I notice hse still wasn't speaking. She would go the whole day without saying one word. She also wouldn't resond to her name. Also if I would ask her things to do she wouldn't understand what I was saying. The main she she started doing was flapping her hands and legs all the time when she would get excited. Do the twins line up their toys and seem to be occupied with the same toy for hours? <ziggypop13gmail> wrote: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 does this too. When he has a play date he tells the guest what they can touch! His trains are all set up just so. His sister not on the spectrum is neat as well and nearly went crazy when she found her self in a room with a messy step sister! As soon as could write everything got a label. His toy cars look like parked cars in a parking lot ( my dad the valet would be proud) and each one has a card under it and a number. Food must not touch meat is a nono and bath time must have music.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I think kids are different...my daughter would just get a sick look and be extra whiney for a day or two before and then the temp and immediately the leg pains. The leg pains were the worst, they hurt in the shin area and continued for 4-5 days. My daughter never had stomach troubles - so I cant help there.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 My left knee has been causing some problems for a few years now. It has had the " cleaning " surgery where they go in and smooth the torn up cartilage. That's about all they want to do for me. What is has been doing, and I've told them this and it's getting much more frequent, the knee cap doesn't want to stay where it's supposed to be. Many times a week, when I go to bend my leg even just to walk, I have to stop, leave the knee bent and push the knee cap back to the center just to continue to walk. I've been having a lot more pain, especially when I go walking or swimming or pretty much anything. It also swells but not significantly or for an extended time. When it swells, I get off my feet and elevate it. I do have Celebrex and have had to begin taking that again. I just have to be very careful because now I'm to the point of not being able to take Advil AND Tylenol even once for a headache or when my knees hurt. Is it time to push forward on having someone take a look (even though the docs here are so behind) or should I just do as much physically as I can to help me loose weight and take the Celebrex?

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Thanks. That's exactly what my left kneecap does. I know I've brought this up before but the doc just says " hmmm " and tells me he will scope my knee and clean the rough cartilage up. It's like they don't have a clue what to do with me. I'll probably have to get a referral to my previous doc on the west side of the mountains (I went to him before we moved here). It's a drive but I think he's worth it.
