[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 143316, member: 3444"] I've always thought it was at the very low end of the spectrum. We've known since preschool that the difficult child's had ADHD. This year as we are working on an IEP for difficult child 2, there are some who are raising the question of whether he also has Asperger's because of some behaviors he has. But he doesn't have all the hallmarks. And if you look at some of his behaviors out of context, it's easy to misinterpret them (especially if you're a particularly dense school staff member who's LOOKING for a particular label to slap on someone). That's where a view that a disorder can present in varying degrees along a spectrum helps. Of course, that doesn't allow for a neat and tidy diagnosis, does it? [/QUOTE]
