Since RJ blends in so well with others from a physical perspective, it is difficult for teachers or peers to recognize & understand his social & communcation impairments, therefore many peeps misread his body language and responces. AND PLEASE DON’T “make” him make eye contact with you because quite simply, it does not mean to him what it does to you. What it means to him is sort’a what looking at a white wall means to you.

Are you a parent with aspergers or do you have a family member with aspergers? What has it been like?

Do other’s help you advocate for yourself or are you able to recognize when , where, & why it is important to speak up for yourself? when was the last time you did and what were the circumstances?

Last night was the first time EVER that RJ initiated a get together with someone other than me (his mom). We, (the family & extended family) were all sitting at the table talking about movies, etc. and one of the guys mentioned Star Wars, then he said to his uncle “Maybe you and me could go see that movie sometime when it goes to the dollar movies?” WOW that was a huge BREAK THROUGH & I’m so proud of him. See!!! developmentally delayed means delayed, not never. I am so thankful to see him growing up in ways that I had dreamed of for so long.
