[QUOTE="Lourdes, post: 394252"] Asperger's has been ruled out at each evaluation. He's very social and makes friends easily. His brain is wired different no question. His strengths are giving speeches and presentations, quick witty replies, and he has this way of thinking where he can understand a lot more than you are telling him - I don't know how to describe that. He'll make a good salesman as he can be persausive and his communication skills are excellent and I've spoken with him a lot about going with his strengths. We've talked a lot about his future and he just shrugs his shoulders. I don't know if I can go through yet another evaluation - he's been evaluated soooo many times and has even done some brain studies at a brain institute. I guess I am having trouble understanding what can and cannot be changed as far as behavior. What's a diagnosis and what's willful behavior? His last school based evaluation - his ONLY school based evaluation - said there was absolutely nothing wrong with him. I wouldn't go quite that far. A couple of folks on this board met him when he was younger - Fran met him, but he was a little guy back then. [/QUOTE]
