RE: Parents of Aspie Teens

[Guest guest]

My son is now twenty...freshman year of high school was awful...eventually, he became involved with the high school drama productions and took theatre classes...this was a good outlet for him and a good group of kids, for the most part. If your son has a specific interest in any activity at school at all, encourage him to "find a place for himself." Following high school, my son got help from our local Dept of Rehab and went to broadcasting school...he currently works part-time for CBS Radio...hope this is helpful info and also encouraging to you...

That's interesting because my daughter is taking theater class and joined the drama club, too! It's her favorite class and she is getting the best grades in there.

Yea right again. wanted to dress Gothic because some of the kids in school dress gothic,all black clothes etc.. That thank God only lasted a few days. He goes to a private school for emotional support kids. Take care,Betty tonysmom821 <tonysmom821@...> wrote: I have a 15 year old. High school is a nightmare to say the least. He is an aspie teen.

Betty – We are lucky in that driving

has not been an issue for us – yet.  Tyler will be 18 in May.  He got his permit on

schedule at 15½ and took driver’s ed.  We also did lots of individual

driving lessons up until a month ago when he finally got his driver’s

license – he had not been pushing, the driving instructor just said, “I

think you’re ready and we’re going to do it (take test)”.  I

think Tyler has

realized that he was not emotionally prepared to take on the responsibility of

driving.  Even though he has his license, he is not pushing to drive on his own

yet.  I am not ready for him to be on his own yet – though I don’t

know how well he drives as he lives with his dad and his dad is the one who has

been with him when he drove.  I have said that my heart and nerves can’t

handle it – I have two older children (31 & 28) that I drove with so

I have done my part already!  We also basically live in Houston and so there is the concern with all

the traffic.  But, he is in a private school and it would be nice if he could

drive himself back and forth.  Hopefully, he will be mature enough to do that

next year.

I have a 17 year old Aspie. Last year was extremely difficult. He failed all his classes except 1 and had to go to summer school to be able to pass to 11th grade. He also missed over 40 days of school and was referred into Truancy court. I was able to get the sentence dropped due to his disability. This year has been quite a turn around gradewise and he has only missed the allowed # of days. He seems more mature and able to "handle" issues at times. He still has occasional blows ups and times where he can be set off very easily. I am convinced my son has a harder time in the winter months (possible Seasonal Affective Disorder?). He is very involved in music programs this year at school and that has improved his outlook and opinion of school. First quarter he made Highest Honors. I was very proud. He does have an IEP (not for academic work, but more organizational). He has a wonderful male case manager who he was connected with. He still tends to do things last minute or late, but overall this year is much, much better. Pam :)Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape in the new year.

, is also in a private school but none of the kids are allowed to drive to school. I will be petrified when he starts driving. I also can't afford him on my Insurance. And I don't know where he thinks this $ is coming from for a car for him. I just lost my transmission in my van - $1,4000 right after Christmas. I borrowed & then couldn't pay 2 of my bills so I know that they will be double next month.

Tyler’s school does allow them to drive – of course,

they must have a valid driver’s license and proof of insurance.  Right

now, there are only two students that drive to school.  (It is a very small

school and I’m not sure how many kids are driving age.)  Currently, his

dad takes him to school as he works in the area.  Until Christmas break we

carpooled and his dad took another student and then that mom picked them up.  At

present time I am picking him up every day and taking him home.  But, I have

applied with Joint Commission to be a surveyor (I’m a nurse) and if I

take a job with them I will have to travel.  The job is only “intermittent”

so I only have to commit to 5 days per month but that means I will be out of

town some and unable to pick him up.

I’m not sure what kind of car his dad is getting him.  Tyler

tells me it is going to be a “new” one which I am totally against. 

I don’t think a teenager needs a new car plus statistics show that it is

not uncommon for new drivers to have minor accidents in the first year they

drive.  I have told Tyler’s dad about two good used cars I was aware of

but he was not interested.  Oh, well, I am not the one buying it or paying for

the insurance.
