[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For my Asperger's DS (9), I'd say it's his rigidity.  Things have to be a certain way all of the time.  Also, he thinks he is right 100% of the time.  He will argue about EVERYTHING.  Does anyone else deal with this?

Also, he gets "stuck" on things.  He will have to repeat the same sentence, question, phrase, or paragraph over and over again until it is "right" in his brain.  And then he can move on.[/quote]

I totally understand!  My DS is 5 and it has started full on.  The arguing about everything and needing to right drives me crazy.  He does it to teachers and kids too and sometimes he is right (on subjects that he knows well).  It is the attitude, know it all tone that makes me think no one will like him as he gets older.  My son lectures, sometimes preaches at people, if that makes sense.  Also, constant repeating of question and phrase, either by him or me.  I can usually deal with him repeating himself, but when he ask me the same question five times and I answer repeated five times, slowly with slight variations on phrasing I think I want to hurt myself.  I feel bad, but I don't know if I can take it to age 9!  And it doesn't make sense because his receptive language skills have been tested 3 times to date, at 3, 4 and 5 yrs old and has scored between 90 and 98 percentile. That would rule out an auditory processing problem and according to the therapist put him on the high average to superior range.  [/quote]
