[quote=Anonymous]Can you find something to brag back about? My own HFA/Aspie DS has all kinds of difficulties but also some startling abilities and insights. Maybe you could say "Wow that sounds like a lot of parties. Emily spent the weekend buried in a college level textbook about volcanoes." Or building a LEGO model of Buckingham Palace, or watching 20 back episodes of Cosmos because she's really interested in black holes, or whatever it is. I know not every HFA kid is a secret genius but I'm sure there's something wonderful about your daughter that would put being invited to birthday parties in perspective. Or maybe just "Thank goodness Emily's a bit of a loner. I don't know how you can stand going to those parties. The music's always too loud and the pizza is awful."[/quote]
