You Are Heroes | Our Asperger Family

https://aspergerfamily3.wordpress.com/2010/06/21/you-are-heroes

Living, Loving, and Learning About Asperger's Syndrome. About Our Asperger Family. Thank you, Dads. A Calm Place →. June 21, 2010. I remember the first moment I had to take criticism from a teacher about my perfect angel. I had to make the choice: do I listen to this person, or do I cling to my own idea of who my son is? And it was hard. It was really hard. I’d never thought about some of the things she was telling me; never even considered certain skillsets or behaviors. The ones who don’t, though...

Newly Diagnosed Smorgasbord | Our Asperger Family

https://aspergerfamily3.wordpress.com/2011/08/23/newly-diagnosed-smorgasbord

Living, Loving, and Learning About Asperger's Syndrome. About Our Asperger Family. Late Morning →. August 23, 2011. A friend of mine recently – as in this morning – pointed me toward an article about Asperger’s Syndrome, written by a terrified mother. As she warned, it wasn’t one of those. Articles. It was a scary one full of desperation and misunderstanding. We blame ourselves right off the bat for everything under the sun from not catching it earlier (and starting therapy sooner) to poor parenting.

https://aspergerfamily3.wordpress.com/2011/01/21/how-to-help-on-the-sly

Living, Loving, and Learning About Asperger's Syndrome. About Our Asperger Family. A New Year’s Resolution. Sickness, Aliens, And Attendance →. How To Help… On The Sly. January 21, 2011. Many years ago, I knew a family with a child who obviously needed some special attention and extra help. And she wasn’t getting it. But not every parent with a child in need of help is able to recognize the signs. Besides, doesn’t everyone just want problems to go away? It took years of very cautious, very careful talk a...

Before Diagnosis | Our Asperger Family

Living, Loving, and Learning About Asperger's Syndrome. About Our Asperger Family. Thank you, CARD Center. Let’s Play Ball… Part 2 →. July 19, 2010. Like most parents of AS children, I can relate to that before-the-diagnosis uncertain feeling. We’ve lived through it. To begin with, the wondering (why is my child different? Then the realization (Asperger’s Syndrome! And finally… the question of diagnosis. Is it necessary? What difference will it make? Many, many of us have been there. We’ve often he...

Living, Loving, and Learning About Asperger's Syndrome. About Our Asperger Family. Will Be Back Soon. Embarrassment As A Social Check →. Clubs, Group, Activities. September 13, 2010. Because our Asperger kids need help developing social skills, it is twice as important that they be introduced to positive and friendly situations. Hostile environments will quickly teach them to be suspicious, cynical, and withdrawn. Of course, this is wrong. There. 8211; or just guide everyone in a different direction, dis...

Living, Loving, and Learning About Asperger's Syndrome. About Our Asperger Family. Newer posts →. June 8, 2011. Years ago, when we were looking into alternative ways to educate our son, we ran across mention of the Saturday Scientist program. Needless to say, we loved it. Besides being a wonderful way to enrich an education, as well as present science in a no pressure, non-academic atmosphere, it’s also proven to be a great bonding experience. In particular, a great. Son time (for us). But, sometimes, it...

Ten Little Things | Our Asperger Family

https://aspergerfamily3.wordpress.com/2010/10/15/ten-little-things

Living, Loving, and Learning About Asperger's Syndrome. About Our Asperger Family. Finding One Thing →. October 15, 2010. Ten little things we’ve learned over the years:. In the Aspie children I’ve worked with, an angry voice usually means “hey, I’m panicking here,” and doesn’t actually indicate. Lack of compassionate response doesn’t necessarily mean a lack of compassion. It may show an inability to emote or “say the right thing”. This can be worked on. 8211; is better than giving in. Be open and honest...

What Are These Therapies? | Our Asperger Family

Living, Loving, and Learning About Asperger's Syndrome. About Our Asperger Family. Embarrassment As A Social Check. Teachers and The Breakdown →. What Are These Therapies? September 16, 2010. Note: Apologies to the experts and professionals out there; terms will be slaughtered and misused, I’m sure, but all in the name of helping people sort out a very confusing and frustrating bundle of options. It’s very confusing. How can one sort out what is worthwhile and what is bunk? Is anything out there free?

Living, Loving, and Learning About Asperger's Syndrome. About Our Asperger Family. Gifted Class: To Go Or Not To Go? Typing As An Alternative To Handwriting →. August 4, 2010. Surprise is the enemy. I know, I say that a lot. I meander on about routines and rituals and control issues. I talk about avoiding the dreaded surprise almost at all costs, as though it was the big bad monster in the closet. That’s because it is. And no, this is not limited to children. And really, if we felt that way – total...
