Re: his socially outgoing personality is driving me nuts!

[Guest guest]

oh yea, been there! antha does that; we were in lowes (home improvement

store); antha gave his and his dad's tools names; he walked right up to some

young guy and said " oh is that Stretch, your tape measure? " . um, yea, cute.

the guy was really nice about it and had a conversation with antha. not

everyone will do that especially if they don't understand what he's saying.

I just know I look like a grumpy introvert when were out together and

he looks like he's starved for attention and needs human interaction.

And believe me he gets more attention from his family, teachers & peers

than he should!

I can see my being like that when he's a bit older. He yells to everyone

and is sooooo social. Of course that is one point which causes all assessment

teams to rule out any type of autism. However, he is the class clown at the

moment and this afternoon was giving everyone hugs. I'm just glad he didn't

hurt anyone as he often hugs too hard.

As I have posted, our daughter passed away suddenly in December from

complications of a structural heart defect. I have not done much in

the way of social activities since then, which I guess is

understandable. Anyway, last weekend son #2 played his final hockey

game of the season so we took our other sons to watch their brother

play. As we sat in the bleachers, a parent with her 2 younger little

boys (5 & 7 I heard them say) sat directly behind us and my (almost)

11 year old son #3 (who is mild on the spectrum) strikes up a

conversation (he gravitates to the younger/much older crowd). That

was fine, and he went on to ask the kids and their mom how many boys

in their family? " 4 boys " they replied and our son said, " Us too! Do

you have a sister? " " No girls " they said. Son #3 kept exchanging

information, We have a sister, a dog, and a fish up there " (points

skyward). Then, goes on to clarify, " They are not up North, they are

dead. " I could not even turn my head to acknowledge that he was right

although the silence was deafening. I am glad he can talk openly

about his feelings, but ouch...

Oh my gosh, that is so sweet. Sounds like will definitly be able to talk openly

about it, which is good for the healing process.

My does the same thing. We have had to have major major

talks about issues of privacy. Just a few weekends ago, my nephew

was staying over, and she walked right in on him in the bathroom. He

was totally freaked out, but she just did not get what the big deal

was. And she talks ***incessantly*** about anything and everything

to anyone and everyone. If someone new enters her life, she freaks

out completely. But if we're at the store, she'll randomly walk up

to someone and start chatting with them like they're her best

friend... Wow is it good to hear that others go through this too!!!

My son too! He meets his new best friend every time we go for groceries! But

what is really bugging me lately is how he is with our neighbors. No matter how

often I talk to him about it, he engages in long winded conversations with any

poor neighbor who has ventured outside their home. I would love to just go in

my front yard and give a casual wave to another neighbor & leave it at that!

I'm not outgoing and when I have to PULL my chatterbox son away from his

victims......it kills me! And then I wonder..... " What do the neighbors think? "

No one knows of his dx and they must be thinking odd things about us by now!

I don't know how old your daughter is but a GREAT book we just read was " Five is

Against The Law. " It is written for teens and young adults. Fabulous book.
