[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 386085, member: 1550"] I know your son has been diagnosed with ADHD/ODD, but he has classic symptoms of Aspergers. When you said he talks about mechanical stuff to the exclusion of all else, my radar went off. And his good grades, but clueless social skills are another clue. You may want to look into that. If he has Aspergers, he isn't going to "get" social norms the way other kids do. That doesn't mean he doesn't know right from wrong. It just means that he will be hampered by not understanding people. Aspies are horrible liars and have narrow, obsessive interests. They do not understand how to hold an interesting give-and-take conversation and often seem me-centric because they don't understand other people well. I noticed your younger son has a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) diagnosis, but all Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) kids look different and Aspergers kids are often like Little Professors who just don't "get" the rules of life. Just my thoughts :) [/QUOTE]
