Guest guest Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Personally, I would not say anything to her...others do not seem to be receptive to our observations about their children. He's very young and, at some point, a teacher or another friend may say something...or the mom might end up noticing something about her child herself....just my opinion...

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 I have a friend, not a close friend, more like an aquaintance, who's son has a lot of Asperger symptoms. He's 4...He's like 4 and 1/2 feet tall. He toe walks and is very hyper and notices very subtle things. There's just something about him. He spits a lot and is extremely smart and has so many poems and stories and quotations and Bible verses to memory. Long ones too! And with no expression. So should I tell this lady or keep it to myself and hope that someone close to her will notice? She seems very ignorant of the whole thing. I don't want to judge but, I know she comes from a family who tries so very hard to look perfect. I hate to be the one to burst her bubble. It would, for her, be a big bursting, of course she doesn't know what a joy it can be, once you know about and can accept an Aspie Child, for they are truly SPECIAL!!!!

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 K.. She's an aquaintance and it would burst her bubble.. Does that mean you don't think she would get him the services that would make him as successful as possible? Hmm.. It is hard.. Once we get the diagnoses ourselves and even manage to rejoice in that diagnoses.. As it has answered lots of questions for us.. It can be hard not to spread the word Play it by ear.. Can you bring up the subject and perhaps suggest that you see lots of your sons talents in her child?? Making it a positive thing... Saying HEY I think you'll find your child has a high intelligence.. And.. Possibly some asperger traits.. I have found an official diagnoses helpful in getting extra services and education for him.. Have you ever considered it? If she shuts you down.. Then back off.. Its not always easy for some -- ( ) When to tell a friend.

From the sounds she won't like what she is going to hear no matter who tells her. Hawthorne We Made Changes Your email is all new.
