Guest guest Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 I have the opposite problem - my son looses his clothes during a good meltdown. He will strip to his underwear in the timeout room at school. He didn't used to do this when he was younger.. He just turned 13 in June.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Absolutley! I think that we parents of AS kids also end up doing a better parenting job because we learn and read about how to parent better where as many parents who have " normal " kids don't do any of the learning that's now days required to do a good parenting job. - kim hibbs <seanhibbs0112@...> wrote: Have you ever thought that our kids are the normal and the others are weird???? just a thought......(at least we know how to handle most of the situations).... and if we don't, we ask for help.... kim Sandy <sandy1122@...> wrote: Do your kids hide themselves inside their shirts?...My boy always puts his arms inside his shirt or he'll put his head inside too like a turtle.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 ROFL I have to admit, I have often caught myself thinking that very thought. There was an NT boy that just wasn't nice to my Aspie son. He had absolutely ZERO tolerance for my sons behaviors, and he was just plain rude! That made me think,,,, wierdo... of course, I felt guilty afterwards, and that was just a thought in my head! *giggles* lisa B > Do your kids hide themselves inside their shirts?...My boy always puts > his arms inside his shirt or he'll put his head inside too like a > turtle.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 I bet it has something to do with the deep pressure in the feet, knees, and hips. Another thing it might be is because it couble be like w-sitting. W-sitting is when their legs look like a W. Their butt is on the floor and the legs/feet go to either side. I had a PT give me an article on it and it said that w-sitting isn't good because you don't use your upper body muscles. I wonder since a lot of Aspie kids have weak upper body muscles if the buzzard sitting has the same effect as w-sitting making it easier on their upper body. Just a thought.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Just sitting doesn't but usually they are playing. So sitting that way causes them to use less upper body muscles when they play. This isn't the article that she gave me but it is the same author and makes the same points. It talks about keeping balance and crossing the midpoint. It http://www.pediatricservices.com/parents/pc-22.htm Re: ( ) Re: My Turtleboy > > > > WOW! That's amazing. Wonder why they sit like that?

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 My youngest does this all the time. He wears his shirts inside out and backwards on purpose. Then he hides his arms and sometimes his head inside the shirt. A lady at a Japenese restaurant came over laughing to our table - she had thought, " poor boy, crippled...with no arms... " And then she saw he did have arms after all. One reason I know he does it sometimes is warmth. He likes to be warm and because he is so skinny and tiny, she doesn't keep too warm on his own. So he is always pulling his clothes up to feel the body heat. Roxanna ( ) My Turtleboy Do your kids hide themselves inside their shirts?...My boy always puts his arms inside his shirt or he'll put his head inside too like a turtle. When he sits, he'll take the shirt and put it over his knees which stretches it and one time he put the neck hole all the way down to his waist like a skirt.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Long sleeve pants! Lol! We hear that same phrase at our house, too! Max has a few pair of shorts and even helped me pick some athletic-style satiny ones for himself this summer. He hasn't worn them once. And it's a struggle getting the denim shorts on him! I finally gave up and just let him wear his good school jeans. I had to let it go because who am I to say whether he's too hot or not? It's not my body. I can't fathom wearing jeans and long socks in TX all summer when the weather hits 105 regularly, but hey, I wasn't raised here, what do I know? lol! > > LOL, well there goes the " skinny " theory!

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 LOL sounds like our --he's 6, weighs 42 pounds and is 45 1/2 inches tall (as of last Friday). He looks like a little twig!! He wants to constantly wear jeans/sweats, long sleeve shirts/sweaters, and freaks out if I make him wear shorts on the few warm days we get here in the Great Northwest (we've hit 90 5 times this summer here on the island). It's been really weird, though, because he started sweating when the sun and temperature started going down on those warm days. Does anyone else have that issue? Of course, his dad (who we suspect has AS) is the same way--he wears blue jeans year round, even when we're visiting family in Kansas and it's over 100 outside. Dad only wears shorts to bed or to the golf course (but complains because his jeans would be more comfortable). mother of /8/anxiety, GERD, asthma /6/AS, anxiety, epilepsy, asthma Hunter/4/NT, asthma Dylan/1/NT Re: ( ) My Turtleboy Roxanna, you said your boy likes to be warm.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Same here! He does NOT like to wear his dress clothes, let me tell ya! And we don't go just once a week. We have a 1-hr Bible study, a 2-hr ministry school & service meeting, and then Sunday is the public discourse & a study of a Bible-based magazine publication. So we're dressing him up a minimum of 3 times a week. And it is a minimum of 3 battles per week. I just dress him because asking him to please put on his dress pants, then shirt, etc. is not useful. It doens't happen. But when he dresses w/o complaint (help form me or on his own) we praise him. Power of positive reinforcement, we hope. What I've noticed is that it's not so much changing into dress clothes for him as it is just changing what he's doing. Anyway, you're not alone!!! ~ > > Seth always wants to wear " long-sleeved pants " as well. And long > sleeve shirts. He hates summer.
