[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 217794, member: 1550"] Actually, my son is very high functioning and he doesn't make good eye contact, although he is very verbal and doing well in school (he made the honor roll). He also has friends, but he really didn't have many until a few years ago. And he doesn't always like to see them--for example, he likes to see movies by himself. All kids on the spectrum are very different. The one common ground is that they are impaired in social development. Even though my son always smiled and pointed, he did not really know how (nor really care) about appropriately interacting with his peers. When he was little he'd run around with other kids, but, as he got older, it got harder and he didn't seem to mind being alone. But some Aspies do mind having few or no friends. My son started social skills classes before he hit age two. If your son is in Early Childhood, I'd make sure he gets help for his social skills. [/QUOTE]
