Re: dropping everything-aspie trait?/Lorraine

[Guest guest]

Lorraine, I have................it started with my son´s diagnosing and following great problems.

It goes to my heart when you talk about clumsyness as well as having been bullied as a child, and foremost, "not realizing when I am bullied till someone TELLS me". That´s it!

The final proof I needed................. I´ve been thinking about doing a neuropsychological investigation myself but you have to wait for years where I live.

I can manage my life pretty good and found strategies. But being in this list I understand soo much I didn´t have words for earlier. Some of you have a fantastic ability to make clear words out of my unconscious feelings and I am so thankful for gaining those insights.

I too have the dropping or knocking over problem as does my son, whilst my husband used to get upset when my son done this I would just expain it was an accident, now that he has been diagnosed with Aspergers I had a few realisations of my own, suddenly life makes more sense, as a child I was bullied, as an adult I have not realised that I am being bullied until someone points it out. I was very good at complicated science, but found simple stuff difficult. In new social situations I am very quiet until I have "figured" every one out. People describe my sense of humour as quirky. And I am starting to realise I frequently bore people with stuff that I find amazing. I think its time to admit to myself that I maybe an Aspie too. Has anyone else gone on a bit of a journey of self discovery?

My neighbor's son, who, immediately gravitated toward when we first moved here, was recently diagnosed with AS. He is higher functioning than because I wasn't sure. He doesn't have the same issues but his clumsiness is much worse than 's he's just like me in that respect and the two of us in the same room, my GOSH we just fumble and step on and knock each other and drop things and I'm always trying to help but I never seem to be able to do it. I'm rather fond of this kid. I don't enjoy it when he whines and he is a VERY whiney kid sometimes, but I just totally get how it is when he spills stuff. We went to his birthday party this past Saturday and he spilled a drink and I thought to myself, "It was a race between the two of us as to who would spill first." I was volunteering at his school (also my daughter's school) once last year and I could see so much more of why he has the dx and I also felt extremely annoyed with

the school. Every wednesday he went to a social skills group called Lunch Bunch. The way it worked was for him to go to the lunch room, get his lunch and then walk to the guidance counselor's office. Every wednesday he'd have a meltdown because he would get food on his clothes then he'd freak out trying to get the food off and his clothes would be drenched. The day I was there I saw him with a lunch tray with a HUGE bowl of soup on it. I just couldn't believe they left him to make that long trek from the lunch room to the office on his own. Rayleigh and I helped him get there because there was just NO WAY I'd ever be able to carry that on a tray without spilling so I knew it would be impossible for him to do it. Rayleigh held doors and I carried something else and we got him there quickly and without any spills. Then I went home and made sure his mom knew what I saw. MAN that just cheesed me off. They needed to figure out something else.

I have no idea what, but having that kid carry liquids through crowded hallways with no lids...pure idiocy on the part of the school. The guidance counselor was convinced he SHOULD be able to do it. Maybe so, but adding stress for that wouldn't help him with academics. UGH.He went with us to the pool last week and we were both trying to pick stuff up to take with us and both repeatedly dropping them and bumping into each other. I'm sure it was very comedic. I just SO get this kid. He told his mom about me, "She's almost as nice as you are, mom." Well, I do try.Miriam> > > > > > > My 14 1/2 year old Aspie drops everything -- his phone, the remote control,books, drinking cups, you name it, he drops it.> > He

is very athletic and well coordinated, that is, he doesn't stumble when he walks or anything like that.
