[QUOTE="lovelyboy, post: 564172, member: 8045"] Malika....I hear what you say about your son and I understand how you feel he doesnt meet Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) criteria...... I just wanted to add that hightend anxiety is almost the key symptom with AS.....and even with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) not otherwise specified......And also their Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) traids....The Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) traids can be seen in the repetitive thoughts, behaviour, questions( getting stuck on one idea, like wanting to rent a dvd), following rules by the dot.... AS people DO HAVE empathy, they just dont always show the behaviour, like giving warm hugs...... AS people CAN have " good" eye contact, it only gets harder in overstimulated or new environments, or sometimes its the quality thats poor...... AS people LOVE jokes and "playing around" with funny words..... For kids to be diagnosed with AS there is 2 main criteria: Struggles with socialization....and this doesnt imply NOT being able to socialize! It can present with often wanting other kids to follow THEIR rules, being bossy, often thinking others are bullying them( because they misread the cues), often getting into power struggles, exct. And repetitive behaviour...And again not the "rain man" type! But like wanting to have Mc Donalds on Wednesdays because they had it last week.....Wanting to play their faviourite ps3 game, not understanding other kids might not enjoy it..... I truely think your son is maybe to young to see clearly whats up....We are seing the little leave coming out of the ground, not knowing if its going to become a lemon or apple tree! As social expectations and pressure in school increases all might become clear! Why we need to know what kind of tree he is.....because the wrong medications might worsen the situation and the right ones will improve it....You dont like medications? Believe me, there might come a day when your live becomes so out of control that you will do ANYTHING to help your child and keep your sanity! Hope this will not be the case for you!
