I just wanted to ask a question:Why is eye contact so important? I rarely make eye contact with anyone; it is too overwhelming. I have been scolded a few times...
First of all, it's lousy for your posture. And I didn't even know the moon could be seen during the day until my son hit 3yo, and he pointed it out to me -- my...
There is a language of the body, and when someone is looking for someone else to talk to. For the social stimulus, or otherwise. They need to know whether...
I am a stay-at-home dad who has homeschooled for 2 years and my ds is now 11 y/o. He has been diagnosed with ADHD and some LD (ala.... Aspergers, but not full...
I also have symptoms of CAPD, or just Auditory Processing Disorder. Most Autistics show the charateristics, and have he symptoms. Same way most Autistics have...
I love Star Trek. I don't get it on my TV (too broke to get more than three or four channels) but I love it. Any time you want to discuss favorite characters,...
Hi Everyone! Thank you all for being a part of our Asperger's Syndrome support group. As you have probably heard by now, a bunch of your fellow members are...
I think its seen as rudeness, like you're making a point of ignoring the other person's presence. On the other hand too much eye contact is seen as just plain...
This describes what made school and most of the conversations in my life a grueling chore. No matter how hard I try to listen, about 10-30 percent of the words...
Oh my goodness! I always had to tape my lectures in college. One great thing they have now is the digital recorders that can be converted to a medium on your...
I have always had good luck buying used curriculum from http://www.vegsource.com or or local home school fairs. I have a friend just outside of Philly who...
It makes people feel like they are important. A good trick my Aspie husband taught me was to look at peoples eyebrows if it's too hard-to look them in the...
Now that's a great way to go. I'm definitely going to remember that one. Either that or their cheekbones. I'll fool around with that. Thanks, Joyce ... From:...
I should have guessed from your name. :) TNG was my fav. But with reruns of Enterprise, I'm getting into that one now. I never watched it. I like Tupal....
Another thing I'd like to bring to people's attention is the movement by college teachers and professors to force erasure of tapes and recording mediums at the...
Eye contact has been one of my major battles, and I've really fought to look people in the eye even for a brief minute. The more I do it, the more able I am...
... fought to look people in the eye even for a brief minute. The more I do it, the more able I am carry on some semblance of a "normal" conversation (though...
... Jenn, Why do you have such a hard time with it? Not sure about you, but my Aspie son and husband both shy away from it due to the emotional intensity, but...
No, the demand for eye contact is purely cultural. There are many cultures where a child would be beaten for looking an adult in the eye. Most cultures make...
Jenn, I have a hard time with eye contact. I don't try and no one seems to mind as long as I show I am paying attention in other ways like commenting on what...
I think one reason is that aspies have a hard time with eye contact is because of their 'introversion' aspect. In addition I think they have anxiety in social...
I think it might be teleptaths for us..not only Vulcans. Vulcan mind- meld is probably the most intense and they can see what someone has done in their past...
Actually, come to think of it, I could not apply algebra in physics or chemistry. I took started physics over and over again, never quite "getting it" when it...
Sharon We can go back to the old adage: You get what you ask for. When my children were just 7 and 4, I had to change my whole aspect of mothering. I had to...
I love Star Trek. Especially TNG. I watched it so much when i was on bed rest with my first son (Micah-Aspie) that when he was a few days old, he was crying to...
Hoping someone can relate to this..... My son, 7, is still having some sensory issues mostly to do with sensing hot/cold. The other night, the house was...
Joyce, My Aspie son, 7, could NEVER have learned to do what he does - hugging, saying he loves me, etc., or making the eye contact if it had NOT been for my...
This does sound a lot like me. I was very quiet in school and seldom spoke, even when spoken to, but I did act out in the form of tantrums from time to time,...
