[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 610151, member: 1550"] I'm sure I said this before, but I'd have them both neuropsychologist tested. Your daughter sounds very spectrumish. They are not necessarily crazy different, but they tend not to share the normal interests of their same age peers and can't relate to them and are emotionally fragile. Asperger's for girls is not as obvious as for boys. Your son...not so sure. Something is up, but again a neuropsychologist can point you in the right direction. My mottos are "Better to be safe than sorry" and "The sooner you get help, the better." You are right that high school is very social. My autistic son actually had a lot of friends by then because he had gone to the same school for so long and had also been both in Special Education (for a smaller classroom) and mainstreamed. At his lunch table, there were some kids with special needs and some "typical" kids who tended to be the school high achievers which I hate to call "geeks." But he was never alone. He did often and still does prefer to be alone after school and now after work, but he is getting better at handling other people because he has slowly been acclimated to others. Most people have social anxiety because their social skills are poor and they freak out when they have to be in a crowd of people...they don't know what to do. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) or not, these kids are close to spectrumish and need the same social skills help that their Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)-for-sure peers need. He is quick to slap high fives and challenge other people at his bowling games and does not seem all that different from other young adults his age AS LONG AS HE KNOWS THE PEOPLE WELL. He is very shy with strangers. I wish you luck!!! :) Be sure to be good to yourself too!!!! [/QUOTE]
