Hi,
I'm new here. My seven year old son has Asperger's but he's also spoiled. He also has issues because his Dad and I are divorced and each remarried so it's a kind of complicated mix.
Fran also has OCD (I think it's part of Asperger's) - doing things over and over. But then he's fairly bright as well.
However, before you presume that she as Asperger's, if you haven't already, I would suggest finding a pediatric neurologist or neurodevelopmentalist and having her evaluated. This will also help with her IEP and getting her the services she will eventually need if she does indeed have Aspergers or any other Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD).
Good luck and take care.

| hi jody....ive 4 children all with autism or aspergers syndrome...if you think your daughter has AS then you should go to your Gp and ask for a referral to a specialist for diagnosis..usually your instincts are right! dont be put off by anyone, its important to get the diagnosis and the help you will all need....belinda ↑ |

| I have a 17 year old who has been a challenge since he was2 yrs old. Finally at 15 yrs old he was dx as aspergers. Its been hard on me and my other 3 boys. He has been ocd for yrs. and it changes often. He went to a special school but couldnt handle it. I have so much bottle up inside, fears, experience, guilt and so on. My other boys say the same thing your sister says that I have spoiled him. Sorta did. To keep peace Ive given in at times. Theres more to say, I could go on and on. Theres some much that I have gone through. Ask specific questions. and Ill tell you what Ive done, experinced and cried over. ↑ |

He remains to be mean at times. He will come close to them and yell at them with a mean low voice.
Almost like a drill instructor in the marines. They dont like it and it scares them. I reinforse that that is not acceptable behav. It is getting better as he get older. He also encouraged the younger brother ( who is 10 yrs younger than him) to hit, kick the 3rd child.( who is 6yrs younger that jesse) and so the little guy would beat up the middle one . Talk about pulling my hair out. But like I said it is getting better. Jesse likes to stay in his room, he will not watch tv or eat with us. He watches movies, tv in his room and he has a play station 2 in his room. Sometimes its nice when he stays away from us , but on the other hand its sad for me because hes not with us. All my children arent with me, thats not what I planned for. So most of the time I am in a mourning state. I mourn the loss of the family I thought I would have. But I also believe that things happen for a reason. Jesse has a very limited food choice. It fast food hamburgers and not just any burger , it has to be ultimate cheese burger with extra cheese or a double double cheese burger. No vegitation. He wont eat food out of the frig because he thinks its all moldy. My son has no social life. He doesnt not want to socialize with his peers. He wont participate in out church youth group or outing. He goes to church with us , but he just sits there and stares downward. He says he like the service but not the people. He went through a time where he smelled everything also. His food, newsapaper, so on ↑ |
