Hi to All!

My Aspie is 15 now and I can say that Idiosyncrasies

change along the time. Insects was first, I could not clean any spider web. I

still must save any insect I find anywhere in or outside the house. Black widows

were her adoration and she still finds then adorable. She read all about

insects, I could never know as much as she knew at 6. Then, it evolved to

pokemon,

any toy, book drawing related to pokemon, (She remains attached to the cloth

she uses as pillow case since I can remember. I still remember when she was

dragging her pillow with that cloth all around the airport). After many

difficult

moments ( years actually) she has something more appealing: Second world war

and the Laws in Germany.

I still miss to have her close but I got used to her

surface coldness. Sometimes is like walking on egg shells to avoid saying

something

she might misinterpret.

Good luck to all and specially LOVE AND PATIENCE!!!

Isn't that interesting when they do their collections? I think, it shows that

they are genius or gifted way up there, when it comes to non-social type of

work or activity. To me, it makes me think they'll always shine, when they are

standing alone. Weird thinking I know, but it does fit? Think about it : )

Did u know that B.F. Skinner, the father of psychology, and a number of

presidents, were all AS? mmhmmmm...

hows THAT, for a happy thought for today? : )

My Son has an attachment to those squishy pillows, his room is full of them

and at night he likes to have them all around him in bed, LOL!

My 14 yo hates all bugs... except lady bugs... he is obsessed with Japan...

anything from japan, he must download, play or watch... Mostly Anime, but also

music and video games and certain movies... he has planned trips to japan on the

internet before, and begs me to save money and take him there someday soon.

Also, starwars... all the movies, all the games, u name it... Food can be a

problem, he will not eat any red meat, only eats corn, the other night I made

him broccoli and cauliflower, and he just nibbled the tops of them, picked them

up with his fingers, and nibbled like if he accidentally ate any of the stem, he

might die. He will eat peas only if they are mixed into macaroni and cheese...

and only Kraft macaroni and cheese. He has to have cinamin toothpaste, nothing

else will do. He refuses to get a different toothbrush, I may have to switch it

while he is sleeping for one that looks just like it. And he will only use head

and shoulders shampoo when he showers which is only when I force him with verbal

threats...Shoes have to be black. He has a thing... if he thinks something is a

special occasion, like a birthday party for a family member, even though

everyone else wears jeans, he has to have his suit cleaned and his tie and his

dress shoes and dress socks... special socks that feel " SO Soft " , of course I

could go on and on, like I am sure everyone else could! LOL My son used to

love pokemon then yugioh, but now he doesn't want anything to do with it... he

had to have all those stupid cards every holiday... and then one day, he gave

them all away to my nephew without asking me... my nephew that loses, destroys

and basically disrespects everything... He also got an xbox and gave away his

dreamcast, and all the games, I spend hundreds on, without asking me to my

niece, who is also destructive... giving them anything is like flushing money

down the toilet... when he was two, it was Barney, we had to have Barney sheets

blankets, pillows, dolls, all the movies... I had to sing him the songs at his

will... then it was land before time, oh, and he had an obsession with

King's IT when he was 3, my mother let him watch it and he had to watch it every

night when he went to bed! It was rediculous... then Arnold Schwartzenegger..

all his movies... The things they latch on to... it's so weird and

unpredictable...

Hello to all,

I have enjoyed reading about everybodys experiences with their children. My

son will be turning eight next week and he is obsessed with the presidents. He

has memorized all of their names date of birth and the years when they were

presidents and if they have already passed away he will memorize that as well.

this obsession actually amazed me and my husband. He is also going through this

thing that everytime we watch TV he has to know what year the movie was made and

how long it is. And of course he tends to want to watch the same movies over and

over again.
