I'm over tired and so there for slower than usual. I also suffer from Dyslexia (mild case unless stressed or over tired) most people believe that the words are backwards, actually it's the letters themselves "post" I could see it as: "do5t" and other bizare combinations. I've worked with students that were diagnosed with Autism but it's been a while, my knowledge on the subject is a few years old now.  |

my cousin has a form of dyslexia. He sees some thing flipped.. like a stop sign might appear as POTS and sometimes he might see it upside down, but I think it's always the whole thing or whole word that's reversed.  |

Do you know which form, Shane? Pervasive Development Disorder, Sensory Integration Dysfunction, Asperger's Syndrome or Autism spectrum Disorder? |

No children yet, but learning disabilities run in my family. My mom had one, my brother had the same one, my cousins have one, and so on. I know there's a high possibility that my children will have one, and I'll make sure I do everything I can to help them.  |

growing up we constantly had to watch our cousin Mark, he had autism. Watching him was a nightmare. To a 7 and 8 year olds, a 5 year old autistic child is really a nightmare, he would pull our hair, bite us, and when he really got frustrated he'd start to toss our stuff all over our room. It was literally a nightmare. That was of course we, as kids, didn't know what was wrong with him, we just thought he was overly hyper, nope!. When we were older it was explained to us that he was autistic. Then we felt bad.  |

i work with 2 autistic brothers 4 and 5 years old in our preschool room. The 4 year old brother is smart and can talk and knows his colors. The 5 year old can't talk and they both wear diapers. They cry alot, but other than that, they are so sweet and they don't act out like hitting.  |

One of my cousins has autism. He's a good kid. He has limited speech, but he tries his hardest to get across what it is he wants. He'll be 12 this year   |
