[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 439163, member: 1550"] Do you know anything about the different types of autism? Here is a link to Aspergers, but you have to remember...no kids fit every requirement. but this often causes kids to be hyper and to act up. Aspergers is high functioning autism, often mistaken for ADHD/ODD (my son's first diagnosis). High functioning autism is often seen as seperate from Aspergers. Or atypical autism, which my son was diagnosed with. For example, a lot of Aspies and high functioning autistics don't "get" humor. My son has a wonderful, dry sense of humor AND a great vocabulary. But rather than a give-and-take conversations he is likely to monologue at somebody without paying much attention to their response (unless Mom or Dad is giving him orders...then he is great at focusing). He is VERY uncomfortable with new people, however he is fine in malls and is friendly at school. But if you live with him...you know. You can also tell when he is on stage during choir. While the other kids stand still, he is looking up and down, picking the pretend lint off his clothes, etc. No, this is not ADHD, at least not with him. ADHD is often a part of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) though. Here is a link: [URL]http://www.webmd.com/brain/autism/high-functioning-autism[/URL] [/QUOTE]
