My son is 15 and has Aspergers/HFA. " I don't know " is something we hear

from him a lot. There are times I believe that he truly doesn't know,

and other times, if we talk through the situation, he can come up with

some reason but it is very difficult for him. This is improving since

the introduction of B-12 injections, LDN, DMG, and TD-DMSA.

I think you should tell your son what he has. I used some of the good

children's autism books that are out there.

Subject: picking at things

Hello,

My son picks at soap, caulk (in the tub) and some other things. When I

ask him why, he says " I don't know " . Is this because of his lack of

expressive language or just something like a stim or does he really

(probably) not know? Any ideas about what to do with it.

Also, he is 8 and has heard us talking about autism and had questions

about what we are talking about. I'm not sure how to word the

explanation that he has it. He already feels different because of his

many allergies.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated and thank you,

M
