[QUOTE="TerriH, post: 314824, member: 298"] On those on-line test quizes, I test out "borderline" aspergers. In reality, I am introverted. My adopted son DOES have aspergers. The difference is this: I CAN learn social cues if somebody talks me through it. Mostly, anyways. My son CANNOT even IF somebody talks him through it. He BECOMES capable, in time, but we are talking learning 9 year old social skills and he is now 15. And he still finds it hard to believe in what he is taught: he thinks that people are just silly. At any rate, I wonder how much of these aspergers are just introverts that have not had things explained to them? Because aspergers does NOT go away. The difference between my asperger son and my introverted self is that I CAN learn, if I am taught. I was not taught as a child what to say in social situations and I did not pick it up: instead my husband taught me and I did learn. Mostly. My son really does not understand, even when he is taught. That is the difference between an aspie and an introvert. In my opinion. [/QUOTE]
