[QUOTE="SRL, post: 92069, member: 701"] Given the traits that you are describing I think you are wise to do further research on the Autistic Spectrum Disorders and to make sure he's seen by a specialist who can diagnose or rule that out. These are very similar traits to what many of our kids here with AS display. You might want to check out these screening tools--they can be very helpful at the point that you are at: The one most frequently mentioned here is Childbrain. Important note on this one--it isn't accurate if there are no early speech delays so it often doesn't pick up kids with higher functioning Asperger's Syndrome. [url]http://www.childbrain.com/pddq6.shtml[/url] This is a great developmental checklist, designed specifically to monitor for Autism. [url]http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/autism/actearly/[/url] If this is AS, then you will be better equipped to help him because you will have a definite direction instead of shooting in the dark all the time.
