So now her kids must live under this horrible stigma and neighborhood pressure just because she had so many kids that she can't take care of them and is making it everyone else's problem. Lovely.

ALL kids can take off like a shot without watching the roads. It's just a kid thing. Perhaps she ought to think about getting a fence around her place with a secure gate.

The kind of idiot who exceeds the driving speed restrictions in a residential area is the kind of idiot who's unlikely to read a sign like that and think: "Hmmm, I was going to put my foot on the accelerator in this built up residential area, but now that I know there's a child with autism in the locality, perhaps I won't." That just ain't going to happen.
They'd be far better using other traffic calming measures, like speed bumps or those bottle neck traffic flow systems. And slapping that mother round the head with a wet fish.

i didn't need restrictions on my street becuase i was autstic...i suspect the child may have other problems. in my life, i didn't want too much special treatment becuase i knew if i did, i would be spoiled and could not make it on my own, and may send a message that autstics were helpless people that need help from others. so doing things with the same things that everyone else worked it was fine, as i can do many things by myself and can be self sufficent if need be.
but in this situation, i think the children needs to be monitonered more carefully now than currently instead of having a sign pretty much interpting "diseased child on this street". my parents told me not to go out on the street, especally when we lived in a high traffic zone, becuase it was way too dangerous at many points to walk across.

Quote:
According to the Autism Society of America, a Maryland-based advocacy group, autism is a neurological disorder that usually manifests itself in a child by the age of 3. Affecting the normal functioning of the brain, autism often hinders communication or social skills. It is known as a spectrum disorder; it affects individuals to varying degrees.
so in short, all children have normal brains, than before age three, some brains become curropt and less able to do anything. so we need awarness that we're helpless people that need help to do anything and just grow up to be people who do nothing for socitey. my brain is not currpoted, it's working perfctly. if it's not broken, don't fix it. they make me sick.

Then there are those of us on the AS scale that are super-cautious; I always took the look right, look left, look right again mantra to an extreme degree and Lauren is the same. While my NT schoolmates would kick a ball onto the road from one of their interminable games and race out after it without a thought to traffic.

I thought everybody cut off tags in clothes until I realized that my sisters never do. Apparently I'm the only person in the family that finds those little tags irritating. Must be an AS thing.

Some Aspie must be in clothing business at lest here. Here you can buy tagless clothing.

i hated tags and some fabrics, they felt so awful...but the companies have become a bit friendlier with their tags now, i can bear them most of the time...and i try on certian fabrics especally before buying them, making sure they don't itch or irratate me or whatever. i think we have more senstive skin that the general population...mabye allergic reations....

What I want to know is how does the twirling fan zoom of into the street? The fans in our house tend to stay put. They are really quite well-behaved fans, and most useful in summer. This must be one out-of-control household! :shock:
ROFL! :lol:

Why don't they sew the labels into the side of the seam on the underside of the collar where they wouln't be seen? It isn't rocket science. :roll:
Unfortunately we seem to be the only people bothered by labels. I know my NT sisters don't see the problem. It's a bit like that story about the princess who could still feel a pea (small pod vegetable, I tell the story to the kids at work and there's sniggers all around, four year olds have dirty minds :smile: ) she could still feel it under twenty feather mattresses. Bet she was an aspie.

The only clothing that I find unberarable really is wool sweaters.

We have a little girl in our family who is sometimes called "the princess and the pea". The princess is definitely an aspie story character. What was the princess' sensitivity supposed to indicate in the story? Was it her nobility, or did it have no particular meaning in the story?
As I recall, a "real princess" was so refined that any small discomfort was unbearable to her. In the story, after a pea was slipped under twenty feather mattresses, she complained in the morning of "being black and blue all over" and had been unable to sleep a wink.
All other considerations aside, this probably will make what happens on the wedding night itself come as something of a shock to her! And as for bearing any royal heirs...:lol:
