[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm tiring of Kristina and Adam for no good reason but the scene in the mini van on the drive home from camp with Max was a tear-jerker.  I think the show does a really good job writing with Max -- but do Aspergers parents agree that this can be life with a Max?[/quote]

IME with Aspergers kids (not a parent of one) the behavior is very accurate. However, it's unrealistic that Max can articulate his feelings so well. Typically, they're either unaware of what's going on or don't want to talk about it. There's also not enough ability to focus on a conversation like that. [/quote]

Parent of 12-y-o with Asperger's here.  Totally realistic, have had just about the same conversation many many times.  There are times when he seems to come so clearly into focus with his feelings and can articulate them incredibly well.  They are getting more and more frequent.  I'm finding that instead of the meltdowns he once had, he will become frustrated but be able to articulate why much more clearly.  This is after 8+ years of intense intervention.

Love the show![/quote]
