I would really agree with the answer above! I remember VERY well when my daughter with Asperger's would recite commercials, sing jingles all the time she was awake. I thought her older sister might have a breakdown. Some years, she told the very same joke for the entire month of October (for Halloween), day after day, every half hour or so! It's funny now, but it wasn't then. One perk for Asperger's kids is, YES! they have an excellent memory! Finally I got her interested in songs from "Raffi," who writes and sings silly songs for pre-school and primary ages. The more your child learns, the more he or she will have to talk about... Another thing is, Asperger's kids sometimes SO want to belong, they need "social stories" to get along. Have your child make up a story of what would happen if he or she did this, or did that, and what reactions around them will be, and why. They don't know. You have to teach them. Read up on Asperger's, please, because you will learn how to handle all these idiosyncrasies our kids have in their darling little heads! Good luck, God bless your family, and know you are not alone!
