I think my kids might have a mini-heart attack if you hoisted them up, at least the Younger would. The Elder might adapt, he's been surprising me lately.<BR/><BR/>Niksmom-<BR/>How to ask <I>him</I> or how to ask a professional? If it is the latter, that is funny because we kinda struggled with that too but once we got the official dx it seemed like teachers, therapists, and other professionals for the Elder were like, "no duh." Would have been nice for them to share the obvious with us.<BR/>Thanks for stopping by.<BR/><BR/>David-<BR/>Hey thanks for the perspective.

I think men in general, whether Agpergian or NT have some need to have things spelled out to them pretty succinctly. Amy and I have very similar discussions in which the woman in her will drop hints, or is sure that her body language surely conveyed what she was meaning.... except nobody told <B>me</B> that....inthenethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14984401271236896364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4971729950750683368.post-35531966897205933662007-11-20T08:36:00.000-05:002007-11-20T08:36:00.000-05:00Jen, thanks for visiting my blog. :) Wow, I need ...Jen, thanks for visiting my blog. :) Wow, I need to bookmark your sit, too. This post just described me and my husband! I read your hub's post and went, "OMG, that sounds so like Niksdad!" I've often wondered if he is somewhere on the spectrum but not sure how to ask. Thanks for an eye opening, thought-provoking post.Niksmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14715465327343655483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4971729950750683368.post-22721964948674332162007-11-20T07:58:00.000-05:002007-11-20T07:58:00.000-05:00Hey, at the top of the page . . . are those kids o...Hey, at the top of the page . . . are those kids of yours in the bucket of a front end loader or what?<BR/><BR/>I have a loader on my farm tractor and I've found small kids love getting hoisted in it.

I have 3 books that I'm reading for myself, and I pick up the Hub's book! Ha ha. It is a very easy read. I read 60 pages before I knew it and I'm not known to be a speed reader.Jen Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06983275002944009749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4971729950750683368.post-52538173302861154972007-11-19T20:41:00.000-05:002007-11-19T20:41:00.000-05:00Aha!
