I don't know

Good morning!

I sit here, in front of my computer, thinking, "I really need to post something!" and yet, my mind remains blank. Thinking of my daughter's behavior/challenges lately, there hasn't been too much out of the ordinary. But let's look at a couple of past issues.

The most recent one (last week) occurred when my daughter confided in me that she was still having trouble making friends. From what I've read, this is a typical challenge with Aspie kids, and possibly adults, too. She also said it seemed as though people were saying things about her but not to her. Oh, how I've been there! HOWEVER, what I was quick to remind her of is that she is the daughter of the KING of KINGS and she is beautiful no matter what anyone else says!

Have you struggled with this issue? Has your child?

The other issue is physical pain. Either my daughter has a very high pain tolerance or she just got so focused on other things, the pain was a non-issue for her. Around the beginning of the school year, she decided she wasn't going to wear socks with her tennis shoes. At first, I wasn't too concerned about it. Just thought it was a 'stage', you know? Until the day I saw her feet! They had red spots all over them for where the shoes had been rubbing them raw. I asked her if her feet hurt. Her response? "Only when the shoes rub on them." ?! She hadn't told me her shoes were tight and hurt, just that she didn't wear socks! We immediately went out in search of new shoes for her!

What has your Aspie not told you that could have been, or was, critical?
