Guest guest Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 First, I want to thank everyone who offered advice on talking to our son about his diagnosis. We ordered " All Cats Have Aspergers " , which came in yesterday, and we read to him last night. He loved the book so much that when we were done reading it he got up and immediately went in to his super-excited stimming response, which is jumping up and down and winding his arms around. That is a sure sign that he loved it!! He really didn't have too many questions, and actually wanted to talk more about Greek mythology than AS. (I guess this to be expected with AS However, after talking and reading, he now wants to say the word " Aspergers " over and over again. I know this is kind of his way with dealing, but I'm afraid this might become a problem at school in the coming days. Has anyone else had a similar situation or does anyone have advice about how to approach this? I can just see this turning in to an unfavorable social thing...i.e. nicknames, teasing, etc. It already happened at the bus stop this morning when he told the kids there that he has Aspergers, and one of them said " You mean like a donkey? " ...(Laughter following by all)...and I jumped in and explained what it meant. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks! Karin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
