[SPAM] Re: girl ways for AS boys?

[Guest guest]

Okay, let's drop the gay thread asap. We are an AS group, not a gay group.

Also, there wasn't anything wrong with Anita's post at all. Teaching our boys

to play like boys is a serious subject that has nothing to do with gay bashing

at all or being gay or killing gay teens or anything gay related. Many kids

with autism lack play skills altogether and it's ok to teach boys to play with

trucks.

[sPAM] ( ) Re: " girl " ways for AS boys?

This email makes me so furious I could scream, but instead of ranting

for pages like I want to, I'm going to keep it simple.

It's not a question of whether or not YOU want a son, or YOU want

your son playing with trucks. It's a question of accepting your

child as GOD made him. Too many gay and transgendered teenagers kill

themselves because their parents don't accept them. If my son wants

dolls and pink dresses, then so be it. I'd rather he be a girl than

dead.

> I have read recently these posts about boys who play with girl's

toys, have feminine mannerisms, etc. My 7 yr. old son with

Asperger's is the same way, except since he has done it for a couple

of years, he doesn't play with girl toys now as he understands that

if he does that, he will be made of in society, and that is just a

fact.And maybe someday the world will be perfect and that won't

happen, but we are very much into trying to save him pain now.

> I do not believe that since he was born a male that there is

anything wrong with our trying to help him to be a male. In fact it

is encouraged. I don't believe it is inhumane or anything

politically incorrect like that. It may save him a bit of heartache

down the road and we are really into that.I don't think that a man

who does a load of laundry or cooks dinner is effeminate, in fact I

would love it if that would happen around here! But I really like

the male of the human species.I love how different men and women

are.I do not care to see little boys in pink dresses and playing

with dolls and that is why we, my husband and I have, have

discouraged this.In fact we are doing phone consults with a

therapist at a clinic in California to try and help our son. He has

provided us with a lot of helpful information.

> I believe I see a trend in the Asperger's community around this

issue, though I read somewhere that the rate of homosexuality is no

higher in the autism community than in the general population. I

have an extensive education in the medical field. And, we are madly

in love with our kid and would only do what is best for him.If, in

the future, this problem doesn't resolve itself, we will deal with

it then, with God's help. I would like to think that we can talk

about whatever we have on our minds in this online community,

whenever we want, until a MODERATOR advises otherwise. And really,

how can you talk about gender identity issues without talking about

homosexuality!!??! Can't. I think it should be possible to talk

about the whole topic as a problem because, if we are truthful, it

is for some people or they wouldn't even pause when they see their

kid playing with dolls when they think he should be playing with

trucks.Some people WANT sons! And that is okay!

> Really it is! So, for the people who think it is wonderful that

someday all the trappings of masculinity should disappear, let alone

procreation, this one's for you!!!!!!!!
