Yeah, and to add to the craziness of my family, during some genealogy

puzzle pieces I found my mom & dad were unknown fourth cousins, there

were known marriages to cousins in my ascension from about 1840 on

back. So now I'm my own cousin, and a cousin-mom to my kids. I ain't

figured out how to make me my own grandma yet, though.

Seriously though, after reading that study about related people in the

Middle East, it does make me wonder if Allie'g genes are turned off

somehow inside, just waiting for the switch to be flicked.

If the family tree doesn't fork....you might be a redneck.

Debi, the redneck!

My husband and I have always said that, since we both have family

members with autistic spectrum disorders. It's on both sides of my

family, actually. Just one side of his. But, so far, so good, none of

our kids are autistic. (And none of my relatives were diagnosed until

AFTER I was already working in this field, oddly enough. I'm quite a

bit older than all of my cousins).

My oldest son is not your average kid...he has a lot of quirks and if

he hadn't talked so ridiculously early (7.5 months and hasn't stopped

since), we probably would have been a lot more concerned. My husband

wanted him evaluated at one point (and he has since been part of

studies done at the MIND Institute as part of their NT control groups,

which involved some evaluations, which put my husband's mind more at

ease). He is almost 5 and still walks on his toes and hand flaps,

although less now than he did when he was younger. He had a meltdown

and wouldn't eat tonight because there was spinach on his plate,

rendering the entire meal inedible. He freaks out with even mildly

loud noises. Honestly, I am going to be interested to see how HIS kids

turn out (and I know I'll be watching them very carefully!).

i just had hannah come to me with her ezymac noodles that she makes herself,

saying she couldnt eat them, cause it had the tiniest little green speck in

there, probably a bit of dried parsley, i lost it and told her if she didnt eat

the bowl because of one tiny speck she was going to get into big trouble....i

think she is eating it...she better be..............grrrrrrr

amnesty my own son michael was of an early talker and so was of my

aimee, but with micheal hims words were of not developmentally normal

in the ways others use words such as he may not have sayed mom or dad

or words like that before hims first birthday but if the phone rang

he always just like the rainman say " UT OH phone " or if a button was

missing on you clothings he would be to say the same " UT OH broke " he

did not flap per say but he had of very stiff arms and body and then

would finger wave and flick when speaking. He often had of a mouth

swiping sort of stim, as he later shared to us he did not like hims

lips to get wet [from hims own slavia} so he was of constantly

swiping of the mouth to dry them. but he was severely sensory

defensive to most things such as sight, smell, movement of hims own

body, touch, and many sounds that to him whirled like a remote

control car and things of that hurt of hims ears. he had much

adversions to touching and holding things especially anything metal.

He shared metal hurt hims eyes, skin and makes of the food all taste

like a spoon. he was of a constant safety factor because of the

wandering, and he lacked safe thinkings, he also at one point kept of

telling us around age of 4 he was of a super hero maked of wood and

indestructable who could fly. he spoke robotic and in the begin we

feared he was showing us childhood schizophrenia because he also

growled and told the voices out there the to " shut up " . He had no

imaginative play, he lined up things and then with one object

knowcked them back down one at a time and did this for hours and then

he fell into the love of the ninja turtles and then it went to power

rangers. he has of a language like an encyclopedia. such as a cocoon

was of to be sayed right and be called crystalist. and radar for bats

was to be called echolocations.

now he is of 17 and one cant tell of the aspergers until he lets you

into hims world and you get to know of him more and see of him in

multiple settings, but he is still loud and impulsive. he still walks

with a stiff gait and he still gives very fleeting eye contact. He is

brilliant with sketching characters he creates which to some appear

to be of the dark side what ever that means but they have shared they

are of concern to this sort of drawing but he is of not bad, he just

likes the mideveil dragonslayer sort of era and so creates characters

of that sort and he has of art that is of blended with much emotional

abstract thinkings of it he understands its meaning but he struggles

to interpret it to others and often will say it has no meaning to

avoid the issues of having to interpret of it.

But anyways some of what you son does sounds some like my michael to

a degree as a younger child of maybe age 4-6, but mikey had of much

more pronounced behavioral things that maked him stand out. Of course

the schools coiuld not see it for what it was and a Dr. Hammar

from my areas actually sended a team to hims school and observed

much , much aspergers like issues the school denied were of issues to

the papers, but the team saw of them in the one day of him being

there, such as hims fixation to teh ninja turtles, hims lack of

interacting at all with any peers, and no peers interacted with him

either, and he did the finger flicking and he was often centered out

to be punished for hims lack of following the rules, he lacked what

the rules were beccause they were of the hidden rules that most kids

on the spectrum do not understand internally , they can script them

back but lack how to respond to the rules internally because it is of

not a thing they can visualize and transfer often to the world around

them. many of us are blind to our own beings but can see of the

others and this was of mike he did see others violating rules and was

like a little police man to some extent, but he couldnot see when he

broke the laws.

There are definitely some things that Rory does that have made me

wonder...but I talked to his doctor and a child psych that I know and

they both feel that his issues are all consistent with highly gifted

kids. I know Micheal is incredibly intelligent too, which is probably

where they seem similar. Rory has excellent social skills, except that

he is bossy, but I think that's because he's an oldest child (and he

thinks he knows everything, lol).
