    Could use some answers from aspie experts about my spectrummy kid

    "pacing" the sounds - I like that. While we're on my rambling full of questions thread: any tips on getting her to stop chewing and sucking her toes? She bites her toe nails and chews the skin around them (fingernails are chewed also, but less intensely). They get inflamed, and she's chewed...

    Could use some answers from aspie experts about my spectrummy kid

    Can you explain what you mean about the emotion on the other side being sentimentality? I do believe my son loves us, to the extent that he is capable of it. He shows concern for his sisters, he worries about them being hurt, he smiles when talking about them if they're not there, he says he...

    Hi! I am mother to an amazing and brilliant 5-year-old girl who is not dx with an asd, but probably falls somewhere on the aspie end of the spectrum. My daughter is very bright, likely gifted. She started talking at 7 months, has always been 1-2 years ahead for speech & language. She's ahead...

    "Hi" from a mom of spectrummy kid

    Hello :) I'm going to go post over in the parenting forum, but wanted to introduce myself here first. I'm not dx with any asd, but am a bit spectrummy myself - sensory issues, add, hyperlexic, a lot of social difficulty as a kid and teen. Anyway, my 5-year-old is *maybe* on the spectrum? She...
