We haven't told our family. The little I did mention was met with "Well, so-and-so does that..." and "so-and-so does that.." -- the fact that they'd name 3 different kids having one odd behavior each, and ds would have all 3 of those behaviors didn't seem to really matter. I stopped mentioning it. I can tell they don't agree with our parenting style, but that's okay. They don't live with ds,

HI Donna

How old are your children?????? Also, what have your tried to tell family members exactly, have you yet come out and actually told them about Aspergers or given them a book to borrow on it? I just wondered.
