Dear Bridget:

There is a book out by a Dr. G. Amen M.D. Neuroscientist, Psychiatrist.,may have the book that might help. His book seems to touch on help for alot of the symptoms that are carterized by Autism. My thought is to attack the bad symptoms that get in the way of mormal function in this world. To be able to do a job and care for ones self. That is why I am puttin this book out. Three years is a good age to start using none medicine ways of trying to fix the bad side of being an Aspergers person.

Thanks,

( ) Re: How do you handle the obsessions?

Hi Ashton,How old is your son? My guy is just about 3 years old (later this week) and he often pretends to be a baby cat. There is lots of meowing and cuddling when the "cat" comes around, so it is generally a welcome thing. He does a really loud meow that alarms people who are not familiar with it, although it is usually a happy sound.Bridget> >> > Like most kids with Asperger's, my son obsesses over one or two things. The objects of his obsessions rotate but generally involve some sort of super hero or fighter (police man who shoots bad guys, knight who fights dragons, etc.). Over the summer his Batman obsession reached a new level of concern as he went from talking and playing Batman constantly to actually acting like he was Batman (hitting a kid at summer camp because he claimed to be the Joker). We've "banned" super heroes and fighters as a play option but it's been over two weeks now and still it's a daily struggle. Help me with how to handle this!> > > > Thanks,> > > >>
