But there is also the flip side that only those parents of Aspie's can understand along with the heartbreak of watching a child grow up with few if any friends. Thank you for stopping by and I'll join your village ASAP.Barry R.

He is right too! LOL <br />I say all the time that I learn so much from my boy. He makes me rethink things,see them from ALL angles and different points of view. I believe we all could benefit from that type of thinking! Enjoyed your post! Please stop by mine sometime too as well as my facebook page which is a community or as I like to say a VILLAGE of parents with Aspie kids!Sharon from Mama's Turn Nowhttp://www.blog.mamasturnnow.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8386489377760958906.post-71734598306233920912012-02-27T06:27:12.263-06:002012-02-27T06:27:12.263-06:00Justine,

These contacts are just off the tip of my tongue. There is a wonderful support community out there to help and I'm always here.Barry R.

Even with an Aspie child, I never thought of a library as anything but a public library..., at least until last Saturday. What I must remember is he's not going to change, this is how Mario is wired. He may add some coping skills as he gets older, but literal is literal and inflexible is inflexible. <br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by my little blog. Enjoy the time with your son.

I often use sarcasm or irony but need to be very careful about the recipient, they may not share my sense of humor. I also find often that service providers tend to speak in industry shorthand or industry jargon. I'm not sure if their doing that as a technique to keep me off guard or merely ignorant of the need to speak in simple common language.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and keep fighting the good fight for leadership.Barry R.

It is always better to pick up the phone and talk. Last night I got bent out of shape after receiving an email. This morning I picked up the phone and chatted with the sender. Turns out that I had completely missed the underlying tone of the email and should have been rather pleased to receive it rather than entirely put out by it.<br /><br />Sometimes the simplest of lessons from those around us can teach us so much!<br /><br />PeterPeter Borner (@peterborner)http://www.peterborner.com/noreply@blogger.com
