[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 394353, member: 3419"] Lourdes, I have to concur with-the others. You can have an Aspie and not know it. The spectrum is so broad, that people constantly fly under the radar. As for the school saying that there is absolutely nothing wrong with-him, since when did they have PhDs in neurology and psychiatry? Just saying ... Pick up an Asperger's book and read it. You will see something there that will click. You don't have to waste your time on another diagnosis. Just treat him a bit differently, and know that he can only cope with-so much and no more, and that things have to be broken up into bitesize pieces. As for the "why" of school, my son has always been like that. We have told him he goes to school to get a good job (not just any job, like garbage collection or lawn maintenance, which he hates, but a "good" job like police forensics. And, he goes to school because we tell him to. He will argue until the end of the world if we let him. :difficult child: [/QUOTE]
