[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 655611, member: 1550"] Sounds like Asperger's to me. I have a son on the spectrum. And anxiety/perfectionism/wanting things to be the same goes along with it. That is all part of the disorder. In time, with intervetnions, my son learned to tolerate things a lot more and I'd actually call him a mellow guy now at twenty-one. But he used to have a fit if we turned down a different street due to a detour when driving him to school. He would literally have a panic attack if anything changed. Kids on the spectrum tend to improve with age. It does help to get appropriate interventions. Aspies tend to be major time loners. My son has one close friend, who he plays videogames with and watches movies with. He can interact with others, but doesn't like to be with people that much and probably never will. H e gets bored with lpeople very quickly unless they want to play videogames or watch movies or if he is playing sports with them. He doesn't really have give-and-take conversations. It's not selfishness. It's part of his disorder, which is partly a communication disorder. Also, aspies do not understand how to read people and are very clueless about social cues and often appear to have no empathy. It's not that. They don't understand people. They sometimes outgrow this deficit a bit. My son is much better now. Some do not. Social sk ilills classes are helpful. Understanding why she has some issues that other people don't may help her. It helped my son. He has a good self-image and likes himself and, if asked, will say, "Naw, I like me" if asked if he's sad he has autism. People DO tend to like him. He's a nice young man who is very polite, but don't ask him to hang out at the mall. After a half day of work, he is ready for down time on his own. These kids are just wired differently. They are not mentally ill.They do not have personality disorders. There is nothing psychological about Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). It's different wiring in the brain. My son is one of the happiest people I ever met. Honestly, I wish I could be so calm and take each day as one at a time. and, no, he wasn't calm like that when he was little, but that is who he became. Does your daughter have any interventions from school that are not behavioral? [/QUOTE]
