That is what I did...and it made me more of an outcast with my peers than I already was. I found that not making friends or interacting with children my own age worked best because if noone knew how "weird" I was then noone could make fun of me.

With B. it is the same thing. I see him being a total goof-off around kids his age and I know that is not him. He seems like he is mocking the other kids, but he isn't. He mimics his peers (actions and sometimes he rhymes what they are saying) and sometimes the kids don't know quite what to make of that. It is sad, but I know that I can give him the tools to help him deal with the feelings of not fitting in and tell him how other people may see what he is doing and think that he is making fun of them when he isn't. It is all growing pains...and boy do I know how they feel. I sure hope that both our boys can make it through school without getting beat to a pulp like I was. Thank GOODNESS our school district has a NO-TOLERANCE bullying policy in place. Our eldest (in 6th Grade with no disabilities whatsoever) had to take (short) classes on bullying and the signs, etc. as a required part of the school year already.

 My dd mimics animals like you wouldn't believe. On time we were at my sister and my dd was down in the backyard with the dog,,all of a sudden we heard this god awful noise, like a dog ready to attack, my sister freaked, yelled for my dd to run into the house, I laughed knowing who made that sound. I do have to say, if I hadn't known I would have reacted the same way.

She also will say things she hears, but says them in the same tone, with the same facial expression she say that person using,,we know this is not the "real" Annie talking,,I am so afraid she is using this to deal with her social interaction with her peers.

Wow...I find this amazing because I have this thing myself where I can hear a piece of music, go to a piano and pick out each of the parts and play them...though not together like a professional would...and I can hear music exactly as it is played even hours or days later. Is this typical?

A lot of kids with Asperger's also have auditory sensory problems. Music therapy through your OT might help with this. May or may not. The guy who started the whole music therapy thing noted that people could not speak what they could not hear. For singers hearing good pitch would improve their singing. Perhaps this could help too.
