[QUOTE="buddy, post: 498008, member: 12886"] Hi again TLK, could you tell us a little more about his earlier development. You say he has social issues and this talking out loud. Does he say novel things each time, like a conversation? Or is it repeating things that he has memorized or his own statements over and over? Sounds like he is very bright. Does he have any other symptoms, like anxiety, depression, learning disabilities (which do not mean of course that he would have problems in school, he may have learned coping mechanisms to push thru them) How was his play with kids when he was little? Has he ever had like... a best friend? does he do parties or phone calls etc? There are kids who have a speech/language issue which is simply a social communication issue or a "Pragmatic Language Disorder". It is a symptom that can overlap with people who have other issues like autism etc, but it sounds more like he may just have this social communication part. Does he make eye contact normally? Does he appear to be shy? I know it can be really heart breaking when you have a child who is "different" in some way. IF this is really his only issue there is a ton of hope for helping him, that is, if he wants to change it. Do you think he really doesn't care or just is not super aware of how different this sounds to people? Do you think it could affect him in his future... like when he wants to interview for a school or job? He may need some time in therapy either with a Sp/Lang Pathologist or with a Psychologist or counselor trained to work on social skills depending on the reason for the skill deficit. Have you done any of that with him? If you have, sorry...just offering ideas. Just asking questions in case someone in our group can relate to some of your concerns. Not sure if this applies at all from the little we know you so far but just sharing: [/QUOTE]
