The only thing I can think to add is that when my younger son was "stimming" in an inappropriate way at school, they taped some textured fabric to his desk to give him something else to play with. Thank God for an understanding teacher and a clever speech therapist.
Wow, what a great teacher! And therapist!
I might have done something similar in kindergarten... but I'll never 'fess up now.
Uberfurher said:And if you weren't already aware. I have Asperger's Syndrome, and some of what is written about it on the Internet is quite wrong.
Yeah, I picked up on that when you mentioned the Asperger's furher (Oops, Freudian!) further back in the thread.
As for what Asperger's is, I haven't read much about it on-line. Would anyone agree that most "diagnoses" leave out individuality or just say that one is atypical when one doesn't totally match the symptoms or agree with the diagnosis, or something?... As far as I'm concerned, reading about mbti or autism can be enlightening, but no personality type or diagnosis can encompass the totality of who one is... They're kinda helpful, but "as through a glass, darkly", if you catch my drift.
I might be wrong. I certainly haven't studied these issues.
I'm gonna go read the website Uberfurher mentioned....
