As a father of a child with Aspergers I agree completely that she’s being used.

What's the functioning level of your child?

What's the functioning level of your child?

When he was a small child he struggled with almost every situation. We were always honest about his situation with him and now at 23 he’s completely normal to people who don’t know there’s an issue. Behind the scenes he still struggles. At 16 he was highly functional but could absolutely be manipulated like this poor girl is. Her parents should be ashamed of what they’re putting this poor child through

It's what the child wants to do and the parents are encouraging it as they should. Do you think this girl is going to stop here intense focus on the issue? Better yet, could you keep your child from focusing on whatever his interest was and get him to focus on something else?

Saw Greta was suing France and Brazil.That makes sense.

You can keep from parading your child out there.

"Major" Montana Storm promises several feet of snow & could possibly be "life-threatening" to some

'Major' Montana storm promises several feet of snow and possible 'life threatening' situations, officials warn

I'd say run for the hills but in reality run to the West Coast for some nice sunny weather and a tan.........

Did he have problems with conversation?

Like lock them in the house. Great parenting advice.

One of the big jobs in parenting is protecting kids from what they want to do. We've had both our sons ask "why didn't you tell me?", and we've told them "we did, but you wouldn't listen."

Yes like smoking weed and hanging around the bad crowd or staying out playing. Which has nothing to do with this girls desire to do something constructive.

That is exactly the point. She isn't mature enough and doesn't have the wisdom to know what is constructive. I'd use the opportunity to draw parallels with some other kids who were indoctrinated, but I can't see it ending well, so I'll go with discretion. She's caught up in something like happens to all kids ... makes them a rabid fan of a singer, or a game, or whatever ... some of us even have a fatal obsession over a football team.

If you don't think speaking in front of world leader is constructive and you must protect her from such evils, you are just moronic.

The same world leaders that will agree to form a subcommittee to look into the findings of a special commission created after a blue ribbon panel was selected by the assistant undersecretary of sub-Saharan African agricultural customs.

I laughed when I read this. They're not leaders, they're politicians and they all smell like my ass.

You have no idea what you’re talking about

 

[Orangeslice13]

Yes
And still does.
Sometimes just simply sending a text message to a client can cause unbelievable anxiety.
I can’t imagine putting my kid out there with this issue the way this poor girl’s parents did.
They’re guilty of child abuse imo

 

[VolStrom]

Time to move to Panem from district 11.

 

[Mick]

You have no idea what you’re talking about

Treatment for Aspergers should:

• Address the three main areas of problems (poor communication skills, obsessive/repetitive habits, and social skills)
• Start when your child is as young as possible
• Build on your child's skills
• Have a predictable schedule
• Break down material into simple steps
• Actively engage your child's attention
• Reinforce good behavior
• Be as intensive as possible

The odds of this girl becoming a scientist is very high. I see a high functions person with a strong desire. You see an abused girl with Aspergers exploited by her parents. You will not be able to find anyone in the mental health community to call it abuse.

What you and some of the others are doing is the opposite of what you should be doing as far as this girl is concerned.

I've met several asbergers pts in the hospital. They do not do well with any change. You literally can't convey things to them like you and i would in normal conversation. It is very difficult to care for them at times. Not because i don't want to, but because they don't receive what I'm telling them. Likely because they are kinda freaked out by being in the hospital. That's just my observation of the ones I've cared for.
I encourage family to bring familiar things from home and we set up as best we can the schedule they are comfortable with.

You’re absolutely correct.
My son runs a remodel crew. (Which the psychologists said he’d never be able to do). He doesn’t do small jobs because the quick changes really mess with him. He needs to be on jobs that take 3-6 weeks. Then he can make a plan and work that plan. We’ve found that working out helps a great deal so on days when the plan goes bad he ends up at the gym for a few hours. “Melt downs” are few and far between because he’s learned to cope/hold it in till the end of the day then blow up at the gym.

He’s in ridiculously good shape btw

 

[Orangeslice13]

It always amazes me when people who have no idea what they’re talking about try to explain how things work to a guy with 23 years experience. A guy who’s son is doing things the experts said he would not be able too. A guy who now has other parents referred to him by those experts so I can share what was successful and what wasn’t.

Good one, a psycho teenager was allowed to get that close to our President.

If looks could kill...

I bet she stayed in a really crappy hotel. You know one that didn't serve meat and everyone is a vegan.

And doesn't use their AC.
