Guest guest Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Wow, sis said son's whole cabin took up a row in a group meeting, leaving son to sit on the row behind -- just what you described! Don't you get upset? In some ways, son seems so highly intuitive that he can't follow the train of his own thoughts - therefore doesn't get into that " rhythm " of teen conversation - you know what I mean? Is this partly OCD or all Aspergers? Son never diagnosed with A. even after all the evaluations he went through. Rhonda Re: head bump Rhonda, well with Aspergers, the problem with give & take of conversation is typical. Also the what-to-say, talk about; and with an Aspie, their comments aren't always " typical " of other peer topics. That's greatly improved since is older. But yeah, others just leave him out, even when polite to him. He's a great guy, just doesn't " connect. " When he would go on church trips with his youth group, I'd watch the other kids all sit with their friends and just sort of have to " find a spot. " And this was in high school. Once even tho we got there early, he ended up riding with an adult separately in a car cuz the van ran out of room, which was true, but he was the only one who had to ride separately. But at the same time, all the kids liked him, just he was left out. And he's said that when they were out places, yeah, he did walk alone, but he still enjoyed the outing, etc. Difficult to explain. And at age 23, pretty much the same life. But still, soooo much progress from elementary school to now, big difference. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
