Holidays create unusual stress for our children who require routine and predictability in their lives. Have you changed the way your family celebrates the fall and winter holidays to make them more Aspie-friendly? If so, how?

Religious beliefs require faith to make them real to the individual. Aspie's tend to think in term of evidence and concrete truths. How does one explain the concept of religion so that an Aspie can understand it?

Being the parent of an Aspie is challenging. It wears you out mentally and physically. Being supportive for our special kids can be difficult when you are feeling frustrated and tired of all the battles. Is there enough support for parents who need time to relax and step away from their complicated caregiver roles?

There is a stereotype of autism as a person who is stuck in their own world. It could be perpetuated by a behavior both of my children have, which involves talking to themselves, carrying on conversations with themselves, or taking on the roles of several people in a conversation. Often, they whisper during this activitiy, especially when they do this at night as they lie awake in bed.
