Asper Girl
My kiddos are away with family for now. But, I thought I'd re-introduce myself. I am an Aspie. We are all different (hence, 'spectrum'), but maybe it would help some here to have someone who has experienced what some of your kiddos are going through. Btw: I have no super powers. Nope, no savant skills. Just interests.

Latest research into ADHD, Autism, Bi-polar, etc link
Finally - a reason why my son and I have received 3 of these labels and why they all run in my family on my father's side!! A big childish raspberry to all those who think such conditions aren't 'real' :tongue: :bigsmile:

:)
Just wanted to share how proud I am of my 15 yr old son. He has bipolar disorder and adhd and hates school. Last year he refused to go to school at least 2 times a week and got suspended at least every other week.

stress, eating, and stuff
When I am stressed, I either eat everything in sight, or eat hardly anything. I am trying to be honest with my diary here, but people can be soo judgmental.

Aspie intensity level?

Here's where I'm a bit lost, and honestly struggling. I know this is more me than anything. The intensity level is through the roof. Everything is an emergency, everything is…

Autistic diagnosis: one step forward, 2 steps back!
Hey everybody! Thought I would update you on Isaac! He was observed on Tuesday in the classsroom by the autistic spectrum team. This wasnt to diagnose him, this was the team who provide help. One thing that I am annoyed about was that his teacher placed him on a different table with the special needs one to one teacher and…

having a craptastic day!
So I just listened in on my daughters treatment team. She is in a residential facility about 2 hours away from me. And I have no transportation, or money for gas even if I had a car. The man from Medicaid totally just implied that I did not care about Christal because I don't come to see her often enough and don't bring…

PSTDs from IEPs - Stupid stuff said at IEPs
Hi Folks, Even though my husband and I have been largely successful with our kid's IEPs and 504s (I have 3 on IEPs and 1 on a 504), getting them what they need, I still don't like them. And those people on the other other side of the table say such stupid things - at one for my kindergarden aged PDD-NOS child, the regular…

Gifted or 2E?
Anyone have kids with either / both of these diagnoses? The nurse at my son's school (who has a BSN and a master's degree, so she is well-educated) sees him daily to give him meds, sometimes more ...and she has mentioned to me more than once that she wonders if part of his behavioral issues stem from boredom / lack of…
