[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 563813, member: 1550"] Asperger's unlike other Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) disorders do not have delays. That's part of why Asperger's is seperate. My Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) son has a GREAT sense of humor. In fact, a lot of it is word play and irony. He does "get" jokes. My son, however, was first diagnosesd with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified or atypical autism, which may be closer to ADHD than Aspergers. Not sure. Seen a lot of kids dxd. with ADHD who seem spectrumish. Doesn't matter as long as they get the right help. Questiin: How do we know if a child is acting up to seek attention or out of fear? Also not all kids diagnosed with either ADHD or Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are oppositional. After the first four years or so, my son was pretty easy. Quirky, but easy :) [/QUOTE]
