[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 65744, member: 3907"] To clarify, I didn't think that you meant that the Sunday School boy was your son. Your description of your son...socially adept, able to maintain friends over the long term, quirky and lousy at returning calls, hyper sensitive to touch first thing in the morning, but settling down a bit as the day progresses... These are the things that I was referring to. You could be describing me. Now I'm not all the way into full-blown autism, but I'm clearly on the spectrum. Your son may be in a similar situation...borderline something-or-other, but not showing a sufficient level to meet the clinical diagnosis. Good luck, and keep trying. It took until I was in my 20s before someone actually pinned down what was going on with me. I agree that the neuropsychologist evaluation may tell you more than the psychiatrist. Sorry for muddying the waters. I was in an all-day meeting at work today, reading and posting during the breaks, and my ability to string words together suffered mightily for it. (And yes...the Simon Baron-Cohen pdfs are a bit difficult. I will check my archives, and post the links if I can track them down.) All the best, Trinity [/QUOTE]
