He does NOT have Aspergers (never mind he was listed with autistic tendencies by someone not able to dx the full-blown) and needed not further help.<BR/><BR/>Fingers in the ears lalalla.<BR/><BR/>Denial, denial, denial and thennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn the switch flipped. <BR/><BR/>Now he 'could' and she's the end all be all resource on the subject. <BR/><BR/>So it went from 'what you know doesn't apply to me' to 'I know more than you and am the end all be all expert in less than 30 days.'<BR/><BR/>Some people are just weird.<BR/><BR/>This 'person' was always a pain in the ass, so no big loss there (but finally a gain for her child).<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry this was someone you enjoyed and then it went South.Genevieve Hinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183893510449821362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11653780.post-84942470490543636682008-01-07T21:01:00.000-06:002008-01-07T21:01:00.000-06:00I know exactly of whom you speak and yes, when sen...I know exactly of whom you speak and yes, when sensory issues (read: torment) were mentioned/listed as a ''gift'' I had to stop reading because: No.<BR/><BR/>I too firmly believe every parent should make the right choice for their children but the caustic cloud regarding aspies and autism in general is very, very dismissive and ignorant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
