Guest guest Posted April 17, 2000 Report Share Posted April 17, 2000 o.k. here's a question. Maybe you can help with this one Rferris. My 10 yr old is dx with adhd, odd(oppositional defiant disorder), and an ld in writing. My 3 little guys are 3, 4, and 5, and they are autistic and pdd. I'm thinking my 10 yr. old might be aspergers. I talked to his psychologist and he disagrees, but I'm not convinced. I know more about autism, adhd, and learning disabilities than I do about aspergers. I'm still kind of learning about this.So What are the symptoms for a definition of aspergers? Here is a description of my kid. He's not good in social situations, very shy. He's very smart and has good verbal skills. He has trouble with handwriting, and is uncoordinated. He has alot of sensory problems going on. He also has trouble making eye contact with people. I know alot of times aspie kids can be dx with adhd. So I would like to gain some more knowledge, because I feel he might have aspergers. Anyone that can help me out here, feel free to jump in. Also anyone have any websites about aspergers? Someone mentioned about weighted vests, and brushing ,etc. We just are starting the diet with my kids. We have them off all meds and on natural suppliments, and we just started brushing therapy. The brushing therapy seems to be working. My 4 and 5 yr olds now bring me the brush when they feel stressed out. So far so good. Well sorry to be so long winded. I better shut up now and give someone else room to talk, lol. Hope all of you are having a great day and God bless, Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
