lisann Report post Posted November 22, 2005 Hi Right we have: Eatting weird objects Lining things up Obssesive behaviour Lack of understanding facial expression No or poor concept of time No or over interaction with people Talking about tihings which only they are interested in Can't wait Lack of danger Unable to or don't want to walk Difficulty with social situations Toileting problems Dislike being touched Sleep problems Obsessions with things or people Obviously these are just my personal experinces and not every AS ASD child has all of these and may differ from each child. Hope these help no doubt there will be one I have forgot that will be the LACK OF SLEEP we suffer at our house LOL Lisa x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dorsetmummy Report post Posted November 22, 2005 Oh thankyou Lisa, Most helpful in jogging my memory. Its hard to remeber things isnt it, well it is for me anyway!! I can identify with a lot of those, not all, as as you say the kids are all different. Julie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mum22boys Report post Posted November 23, 2005 Hi, Also thought i'd add. The terrible temper tantrums Thinking we can read their mind - not understanding we all have our own thoughts. Poor communication leading to frustration. Yes there will probably be more to add to the list but I too am overtired from the lack of sleep in our house. mum22boys Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
