    What is simulataneous processing?

    Can anyone explain to me in very simple terms what simultaneous processing is? I've tried to find a simple explanation, but I still can't wrap my head around what it means. At his school evaluation for an I.E.P. placement, DS6 scored in the 99.6 percentile in this. The school psychologist was...

    Should I fight this battle with DS?

    Thank you, everyone. Relating to DH's family is going to very hard in all the visits we make. They're super conservative and don't believe in Aspergers or ADHD, none of those things. They believe any problem areas are caused by lack of discipline, not being firm enough, etc. I feel when...

    Should I fight this battle with DS?

    We're going to visit our DH's family in a couple weeks, and they are wanting to get a family picture of all 16 of us together. We think DS6 has Aspergers (we're getting ready to start evaluations), and he HATES having his picture taken. We tried a year ago when we traveled there to get a...

    Aspies, at what age did you find your special interest?

    So AS still exists, but it's kind of melded into ASD as a whole? I think I remember reading that the difference between HFA and AS is that in AS, there is no speech delay. But since that term no longer exists, can you still be diagnosed with ASD if you had no speech delays? Because DS wasn't...

    Aspies, at what age did you find your special interest?

    We're getting ready to do an evaluation with my 6 1/2 son who we believe has Aspergers. One thing that I'm afraid will keep him from getting a diagnosis is the fact that he doesn't seem to have a special interest. He is obsessed with donuts, inserting the word "donut" into dialogue all the...

    Differences between Aspergers and High Functioning Autism?

    Well, I wouldn't say I'm all that smart, but I'll try to help you out. From what I've read, the big difference is that in Aspergers, there is no delay in speech development when younger, whereas with HFA there is a delay. However, it's all very confusing now because Aspergers is no longer a...

    Can anyone shed some light? Possible Asperger's in my son

    Oh, and thank you both so much for taking the time to read my long post and for responding. I like the idea of having Zeke's teacher make a list of quirks and things he does, as well as making a list myself. I wonder if I could somehow video some of the things he does, too, so the doctor can...

    Can anyone shed some light? Possible Asperger's in my son

    We live in a small town, with the closest bigger city being about 2 hours away, so we don't have an autistic community nearby. One thing I worry about is the fact that Asperger's is no longer a diagnosis. It has melded into Autism Spectrum Disorder as a whole. I have read that this makes it...

    Can anyone shed some light? Possible Asperger's in my son

    Hi, everyone. I'm new here, and I just kind of wanted to share my story and see if you guys think. I apologize in advance because this will probably be lengthy and a little disordered, but my thoughts *are* disordered right now. My son Zeke is 6 1/2 and in 1st grade. He's always been a very...
