My daughter who is 12 and recently diagnosed with aspergers has had a hard time in school, she seems unhappy and confused, Im moving her to a smaller school on monday, she is not accepting it and begs me not to do it, its tearing me apart, I know its right for her, she has been there once and says she detests it.
Today she has burnt her arms with an aerosol spray, she has little blisters from holding it there. Why could she be doing thi?, is she harming herself, would it be because of moving her school?
I asked her why she did it and she dont know.

It may have been a true accident??? Lots of times Jimmy does things that he says he does not remember, maybe he does not, but mostly I think he says that to not get into trouble. When he was younger he use to hit his head against the wall sometimes, but honestly I think it was more soothing than harming himself. Watch her, make sure she is using things properly and not just experimenting with things, kids will be kids even AS children.....Change is hard, hopefully when she gets use to the new school things will calm down, had a hard time with that as well, took us almost a yr for him to get use to the new school and finally except it and do well there, even though he had a horrible time at the old school...Hang in there I know it is so emotionally draining....Good luck!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
