[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 599462, member: 11791"] That's a crock of you-know-what. Kids get diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and/or Asperger's from around age 3... at least, up "here"... (and where I live, we're in the dark ages). It's harder when they are younger, but the major red flags I see in your description include: - eye contact - social skills - one-topic specialty - lining things up - delayed speech There's probably more that you haven't told us... like coordination (can he tie shoes? ride a bike? do up buttons?), for example. Instead of double-guessing, perhaps you should be pushing the fam doctor for a referral for a comprehensive evaluation - someone or a team who can look at the whole picture and tell you what is really happening. And if it IS Asperger's? There's lots of productive people out there living "normal" lives... with Asperger's. It's a different road, the "road less taken" if you will. But the best place to start is knowing what you are dealing with. [/QUOTE]
