    You're so proud of your DS7 because he got himself ready to go 'on time' with coat on and zipped and his shoes are on and tied, only to find out the shoes are on the wrong feet. LOL

    Your ds9 tells you he's different than the other kids, even most of the gifted kids;he wonders about how it can be that when there' something important to hear, he doesn't hear it, but when he's doing homework and there are minor distractions to be ignored, he hears 'EVERYTHING!'

    He says he loves math "even though I'm not as good as some of the other kids, but I really like thinking about big questions!"

    Yes! This sounds exactly like DS12!!!
    I wish there was a message board (or some other easy communication) where these kids could chat with each other!

    Nicely done, Ang!

    My daughter's twelve now, and has moved on to different anime (Death Note and Bleach). She's very visual. Her dad taught her perspective in about five minutes for a math project; she's far better at it than a lot of adults I've met (and I guess I've spent too much time around parents of typical kids because I feel obliged to insert here that she still can't tie her shoes, to balance out my "braggy" tone).

    Is anyone here a "Bones" fan? Because if y'all's kids are the Squint Squad, I definitely gave birth to a cross between Daisy and Angela.

    Yes! I'm a big fan of "Bones". I could be Temperance's long-lost twin sister! My DS9 with AS is definitely the Squint, but he is more like Sheldon from "The Big Bang Theory". And My DH(another Aspie) is Gregory House from "House MD". Yes, we are very eccentric family.
