[QUOTE="Pinkfreud, post: 683542, member: 18206"] Hi Linda...just read your bio....yes, your son sounds like mine. I never had my son tested, because, frankly he did well in school and I saw his quirks as just his personality. His dad was the same way. His quirkiness never affected his life until about 3 yrs ago when he became bitter about being a "wage slave", etc. The funny thing is...100 yrs ago, this wouldn't even be a point. He would just be some weird hermit down the way.... One of the things that makes me question his potential for being Aspie is that he was extremely social as a little guy...up until high school...and then he just got way worse in adulthood...like around 21-22. If he had it his way, he could "live off his art" ( he has written some songs, plays guitar, and has made some video games. Why is it that so many creative types are like this? I also cant help but make the connection that his recreational drug use ( I know of pot and ecstacy) around that age and his increased anxiety. I don't *think* he uses anything but pot now....but not positive [/QUOTE]
