Heaven... I would bet that if my dh were to be tested he would have Asperger's, too. There are so may similarities between how he apparently was at Nathan's age (according to my MIL) and how Nathan is. He's always been just slightly "awkward" around people, too... not in just a shy way. Momoftriplets... how old are your children? Nathan is my son with Asperger's. He's alomst 7. I have a 3 1/2yo dd and an almost 2yo son, as well (neither of them are on the spectrum). Rhiannon... Nathan is not in any special therapies and doesn't have a classroom aid. The school psychologist dx'd him this year in kindergarten... but I have an appt. in mid-June to discuss it with his ped and see where we should go from here. School actually worked wonders for him and he seems to have just had a huge leap as far as handling change better... just in the last few weeks. He forgot his favorite watch twice this week and it wasn't even a big deal to him... as opposed to a few months ago when he forgot it and had a tantrum at the bus stop right in front of all the other kids and moms and refused to get on the bus (at first... I did manage to get him on the bus). And after school the whole day was ruined for him because he hadn't had his watch at school! But this week he was ok with it. Acted like it was no big deal! His class is also having all kinds of special end-of-the-school-year activities that aren't normally in his schedule and he's going with the flow very well!!!!! As for other therapies... I will just have to wait and see what his ped recommends.
