[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 274359, member: 1991"] I hear you. My family reckon I'm too ready to see Asperger's, but time and again I am proven right. Just yesterday a close friend of the family's at church, a highly intelligent man, was talking to me about Asperger's and finally confessed what I've been privately saying about him to the family - "I think I may have Asperger's." I directed him to the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) questionnaire on [url]www.childbrain.com[/url]. You can't use it to diagnose, but you can print out the results and take it to a specialist. Also, each question is connected to a hot link explaining exactly how to answer it correctly (ie how to not 'rig' the answers to give you the overall test result you want). Maybe if you run the questionnaire on your grandsons, it could reassure you. Or maybe you can persuad your daughter to sit with you and run the questionnaire. "Come on, darling. Prove my concerns to be groundless, let's do tis together and discuss it." If you do this, make sure you check the guidelines to make sure she's not fudging the results to give a null result, and to make sure you're not fudging them to give a "Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)" result. I speak from experience - Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) doesn't just run in our family, it gallops (I stole that line form "Arsenic and Old Lace"). Marg [/QUOTE]
