Hey flutterbug, Thanks for responding to my post. I really appreciate it. How old is your son? Dawn

I have serious problems with understanding tax laws and all the paperwork that I must file for my business. So I ask too many questions in that subject. I even try to learn and memorize the terminology so that I can ask the questions to my tax preparer. I go to www.google.com and use:

define, Form 1096
define, income as gift
define, business exemption

When you type the word:
define with a comma after then the term you want, you can study this way.

You can use <define, _____> to study terminology in school, too.

Hey, I know a lot of Aspies that ask a lot of questions. I also work with a lot of young high school students who have a wide variety of diagnosis, some similar to aspergers, and they have a ton of questions, so I don't think it's just aspergers because I think everyone asks questions, it's just some more than others. I, presonally ask a lot of questions, and I feel it is totally normal. I know it can get annoying to some people, but for some question askers, they just can't help themselves, and i think that's okay. I understand all that. I don't work with these children to make them stop asking questions, I actually have answers for them. Hope I answered yours.

My husband is undiagnosed AS. He asks me MILLIONS of questions, but does not want me to ask him questions....not sure if your son is that way. My husband has twins and ALL THEY DO is constantly ask questions. They have very little dialogue with me outside of asking questions. I am afraid they may have AS also.

I ask a lot of questions but not very good when someone asks me questions.

Well into adulthood, I didn't ask questions, I just talked. Somewhere in my twenties, someone told me "When you do that, others think you don't care about them. Try asking others questions about what's going on in their lives". I started doing that, and much to my surprise, people started telling me I was a good listener! I felt so embarrassed that I decided I'd better start really listening to the answers! - LOL Anyway, I do listen to the answers -most of the time - and I ask questions now because I'm interested in all kinds of things about what makes people tick. Understanding others helps me understand myself better, too. Sometimes I ask too many questions, though, and sometimes I ask the wrong kinds of questions: I still don't have a very good sense of what's appropriate! ;~>

I also find it difficult when others ask me questions, but I do try to answer them, now. It was very challenging for me to do so when I was younger. But that tends to be especially when it comes to anyone asking me about my feelings.

My son is 10, dx as an aspie last year. He talks all the time. It often seems as if he doesn't care if you are listening or not. This has gone on for hours on long car trips. He will often throw in a question, but rarely wait for an answer, rather he will just continue to rattle on. On the flip side of that, when asked a question, he usually answers with a "stock" answer. . . ie Okay, maybe, yes, or no. Even if you have not asked and open-ended question. I have started asking him to repeat what I have asked and give me a full response, this has decreased the frustration in a big way for both of us. He knows that I have asked him something, but often is so absorbed in whatever it is that he is doing, that he will use the stock answers so that I will leave him alone, or he really has not heard the question not sure which it is. (example: he was drawing cartoons after school. "Devin, how was your day at school?" answer "Yes" my response "yes what?" "I don't know, what did you say?" this time he had looked up at me from his notebook. When the question was repeated, and he was paying attention to the question asked, he gave an appropriate answer. It was good, I didn't like having to write my paper again.) Most of the time I now try to have him looking at me, and repeat what I said, this helps him to formulate the proper response, I also give him plenty of time to work the phrase out in his head, before I expect an answer.

hi im new here though im not diagonosed i do believe i have a mild case of it. Ive read about aspergers and girls and was amazed to see i have the same symptoms. I struggle with social situitons and overwhelmed with loud noises

Wooooowww! Now I know why my son has always said "Ask me QUESTIONS! mama." Still does that at age 11. He really can't answer much, esp. the answer to the question why. Also, I now realize why I have always had to tell my Aspie hubby, "Honey, you need to ask people questions about them so they know that you are interested and care!" He cannot seem to ask though. My Aspie daughter asks and answers questions incessantly usual. So, definitely questions are part of Asperger's, manifesting in many different ways. Thanks for sharing, I have learned a ton on my first day on this website!
