There is different levels of autism just like there is different levels of functioning of other syndromes.  Some are very highly functioning which means they can speak close to normally, they dress themself, eat with relatively little help and other normal things.  the other end of the spectrum are those that have a very hard time doing even the simplest of tasks and may require institutionalization to help them live.  Hope this is helpful\n\npeace&hope

No, of course not! But I can see how someone could say it with the emphasis on the AS and make it SOUND like a profanity! But that's why you posted your question in the "words and wordplay" category...!

hey. what's normal and what's crazy? just b/c someone doesn't act like the way u think they should act doesn't mean they are nuts. Y should we act all the same like robots? the entire world is made up of different ppl. cuz i don't do things like u want me to doesn't mean i'm crazy. i get that all the time. any way good question.

i have almost exactly the same problem. what i'm trying to do is to be more talkative and loud around my friends so that i get comfortable with it, then i hope i'll be more talkative in general, even with people who arent my really good friends.

Please talk like a human instead of writing a dictation from the page. Then we might just care.

I am a parent of a child with mild to high functioning autism. I have tried some support groups online and am not happy with them. Feel free to email me anytime at sbirch5@yahoo.com. I know what you are going through. I would love to hear about your child.

Nobody is perfect or normal for that matter. Yes, the popular terminology sucks. I'm sorry for your dificulties with your family and the "establishment".\nThe language presumes incorrectly that different is damaged.\n\nWould you agree that some things can be more Challenging for the deaf?\nOne of My Daughters has a high frequency hearing loss and learning clear speech and reading were both quite challenging for her. She did learn and now does much better than many people who are supposedly "abeled" .  We also object to the label.

Everytime my son says a new word. He is autistic and six months ago they said he would never talk and now he has over 100 words. Sure you can't understand some of them unless you have been around him, but it is still a "jaw dropping" moment.

do you know how to spell regular words or do you always talk like your an idiot.

That's a good question.  I've wondered that myself.  Many of them DO speak with that high-pitched, nasally voice that most of us have tried to mimic at some point in our lives.

yes. you can have lots of the characteristics or just a few. no two autistic people have all the same traits.

It's obvious to me that you are pretty much "in touch" with yourself and at the same time I believe if you could read what you just wrote with my eyes/thoughts, you might be able to answer your own question.\n\nGood luck getting an anwer that makes sense to you.\n\nAnd BTW... I am somewhat familiar with Aspergers but more so with its cousin, Autism.

http://www.autismtoilettraining.com \nI have not looked at the site myself, but it came up on an ad for something else I was looking at, hopefully it will help! I had my autistic son completely out of diapers by the time he was 27 months old, but your situation is more normal with autism. It just happened that Tim was oversensitive to sensory input, so he HATED wearing wet underwear. I don't know how much of this will apply to you, but I'll tell you what I did anyway. Everyone on here that said to be really consistent with a reward system is right on target, that's about the only way to get through an autistic brain, and the sillier you are, the better! Find a treat that he really likes and by a bag, and only use it for potty training, no other time. Skittles was what we used. He got three skittles for sitting on the toilet and I spaced them out so that he was sitting for about five minutes. NO pullups or diapers during the day at home, only underwear, and I ran water in the sink while he was sitting. If he actually did something, he got another skittle, and we made a huge deal out of it! Then, he got one sticker put on a chart for sitting and one for going. If he doesn't go,then he still gets SOMETHING just for cooperating with you. I took him as soon as he woke up and every hour after that, and I asked him all through the day if he had to go. That's all you can really do, unless the link I sent you to has other ideas. Hope this helps! I do my own therapy with him, he's never seen a professional, and he is doing WONDERFULLY. I will be homeschooling him, and we're officially starting pre-school next month. We spent last year just working out behavior problems so that we could focus on academics this year. Contact me if you just need to vent!

I am confused - do you mean your speech ? You could both take speech therapy for that . And if it is how the words come out wrong - like me - I sometimes speak rougher or louder than I should , people get confused or defensive at me , and I don't even know what I said wrong until it is too late . Now if this is what it is I can only say that it will take time to change it . Mine came after I think I was about 30 - my last child was born , and I started talking less , made shorter answers and bit my tongue , close the lips more often and use my ears now ! I still have problems relating to piers , family excetra . And I totally understand about the self esteem . I think you should try to have an hour every other day or so with your son and talk it through together - you might come up with some ways of fixing it together , your own class ! Maybe even put an ad in the paper to start a support group for just that , for parents and children to learn it together . I don't have exact answers - I am just trying to help . Good luck .
