He is not very bad, ever. Just probably frustrated and like you said, things just aren't connected so well some days. We all have those kind of days but because we are considered "normal" people don't say/circle a "very bad" face for us. But we all know that we are often very bad, in way different ways than your boys and in more serious, deliberate ways. I wish there were no judging! I really do. This probably doesn't make a lick of sense.Lynne's Somewhat Invented Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07873588229846303640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-20722401962547427652010-09-13T04:27:18.149-04:002010-09-13T04:27:18.149-04:00All his life MOTH has had similar comments made of...All his life MOTH has had similar comments made of him, generally 'He's just not tuned in.'

Last week my youngest was out of school for three days b4 the holiday weekend...so we both literally were off kilter for 6 days. I don't think either of us has adjusted to our normal routine this week yet...and it's almost Friday.<br />My nephew was just recently diagnosed with Asperger's, Betsy. I've heard that Asperger's is related in some way to Autism...I know that the communication challenges that you're talking about are similar to what my nephew is dealing with. On top of everything else, his parents are splitting up. Can you recommend any reading material for me?Peppermint Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02839146118641977559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-62073594790635604912010-09-08T16:54:40.521-04:002010-09-08T16:54:40.521-04:00Hi Betsy,
