[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 222841, member: 1550"] Most kids with Aspergers speak on time, in fact may speak early and with great articulation. As they get older they can sound like "Little Professors." A speech delay means Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified (the other kind of high functioning autism). Often sensory problems with sound, light, textures, foods, etc. Often poor eye contact with strangers Inability to play socially APPROPRIATELY with same-age peers. He may PLAY, but not in an appropriate, give-and-take way. He may converse, but more monologue or butt in with his own topics than join the conversation (this is from early age) May read early (hyperlexia) May copy by rote what others say or television shows they watch Great rote memory Cluelessness/immaturity about things that other kids seem to get just by existing--(pottying maybe, any sort of socializing, may make a huge deal out of taking a bath, etc) Big time trouble with transitions. Sometimes rages if frustrated or tired/can be defiant and inflexible Often doesn't play with toys or play's strangely with them as in maybe lines them up or dismantles them rather than using imaginative play Poor imaginative play unless copying something seen on television (good at remembering television shows) Often flat affect and lack of expression (more with Aspergers than Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified) With Aspergers some kids are plain brilliant, but some are bright, but may excel in one area (like math) and struggle in others. This is also common in Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. Aspies are often interested very early in techie stuff, like computers. Literal thinking--no gray areas. If you say "You're making me blue" he may say "You aren't blue" and be perfectly serious. Strange sense of humor, but often very clever sense of humor Often not much into cuddling The opposite would be goes up to complete strangers a nd hugs them and acts like he's known them forever (social cluelessness/even most little kids know you shouldn't do this to strangers) These are some things I remember. My son has Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified, but some say it is Aspergers. He did have a speech delay, so I call it Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified, just to be politically correct :) He is doing really well with interventions. [/QUOTE]
