I have been trying to collect as much information about this disorder as i can in order to learn "useful" parenting techniques. I have some questions as to "why"? I give him three choices and allow him to choose.
I have spent hundreds of dollars on clothes for him and he insists on wearing sweat pants everyday. On occasion, he may wear cargo pants. But, i don't push it. He also insists on wearing certain shirts. He doesn' like to change routine suddenly. I have to ease him into it. He may have a meltdown if he looses a video game.
I take him immediately off the computer and explain to him that he cannot play if he does not control his temper.
The meltdown lasts anywhere from minutes. He winds up apologizing for his behavior and asks to resume the game. My question to the above is am i doing the right thing? I feel lost not knowing how to parent my child effectively. I have two other children that are older 11 and 7 and they have difficulty understanding his meltdowns as well.
Anonymous, my step son has the same melt downs with video games, tv, computer etc when it is taken away I am not an expert, however I see nothing wrong in what you are doing I have been doing a lot of research myself, as he was just diagnosed 8 months ago.
I believe that he still needs to learn just like anyother child, with a few modifications , which you have done I think you are doing great! Sensory Integration Disorder is common in kids with Aspergers. Wearing soft clothing such as sweat pants is a classic symptom.

My stepson was just diagnosed with Aspergers at the age of I have wondered at the levels of severity that exist within the disorder because it had never occurred to me that he has aspergers. My stepson has had a strong interest in legos since the age of 4. He loves anything to do with contruction or mechanics and tends to be absorbed in these things over anything else.
He does want friends but over the last few years, kids have stopped calling or stopping to play. Learn more about testing for ASD. People with different levels of ASD may all need the same kinds of support, but those with level 2 or level 3 ASD will likely need more intensive, long-term support than those with level 1 ASD.

Autism masking is a survival strategy for autistic people to mimic neurotypical behaviors in social situations. Your child might display just a few, several, or all the signature behaviors. They may not recognize when someone is uncomfortable, disinterested, or offended.
