Re: I couldn't have helped myself. I would have carried out a tray of warm milk
Did you read about the water bottle? This is not a kid you want to embarrass! My husband tried it once - teased her about getting a bra when we walked through that section in Walmart. She immediately picked up the biggest black bra I have ever seen and loudly said, "Is this big enough, Dad?" He never tried that again. Makes me laugh just thinking about it. Thanks for reminding me of a fun memory.

Re:
Sorry, I'm in Kansas. My grandson is now 10 (almost 11). He talked very early as is typical of some Aspies. Even though they can carry on conversations with adults and use language correctly, they don't always comprehend so it's a little deceiving. His biggest problem is senses - he wouldn't eat many foods when he was little because of the texture. That has since resolved itself and he eats a huge variety of foods. He also does not do well with loud noises, bright lights, and too much commotion. He has learned how much he can tolerate and knows when he needs some quiet time by himself. He is a terrific kid and very smart. Oh, he also has obsessions or extreme focus. In the past it has been Presidents, Star Wars, whatever he is interested in at the time. Right now, it is basketball - he knows the stats of any college team and most of the players. When he was younger, he had a difficult time carrying on a conversation unless it revolved around his current obsession. Through therapy, he has learned better social skills and how to talk to other children. Hope this helps. I work with special ed - aspies are my absolute favorite! I'll be glad to answer any questions if I can.

I just started reading you, I noticed that your home town is Park City and tha you work with Asperger kids, so I have questions. 1. My grandson is a Asperger kid, he will be 4 in July and is yet to say a word, or eat solid food...Should I worry? 2. I live in South Jordan, are you still close by?

We had a wild child too, there was no keeping her down when she was little. She is married now but does not want kids so she has two toy poodles instead (the most spoiled dogs in the world). When she was driving age she begged us for a car and we made a deal and she kept her part of the bargan so we bought her a car. A bright yellow Jeep wagooner, the old, old style, you could see her coming for a mile...We still laugh.
