Okay, so I might have been okay with that, maybe, but he stuck me in the farther back corner behind two monstrous guys. That kind of knocked me over the edge, so to speak. I rebelled by sitting on <i>top</i> of my desk for three days until he let me move back to my seat.

There's many things my husband and I do that helps our children receive the comfort they need while expanding their emotional and social horizons. I've found having a big family (we have five children)has greatly helped my two Asperger children (boy and girl). Many times, they've found comfort not only in the routine we keep, but also the interactions with their sibblings. The world is harsh enough. Let's give our children a soft place to land and feel safe. In their own time, they'll blossom and I've watched it before my eyes. I totally agree.
