[QUOTE="Lil, post: 613041, member: 17309"] That's an interesting thought InsaneCdn. My thinking was that suggesting such a thing to him would simply put him on the defensive, "[I]You think there's something wrong with me. You don't think I'm good enough the way I am[/I]." He's been very touchy about his self-worth; demanding that people "accept" him as he is and that if people don't like his long hair or black clothes that's [I]their [/I]problem. It's why he hasn't gotten a job, he refuses to do anything he doesn't [I]want [/I]to do, including changing to a more professional look. Like I said, I had suspicions when he was little, but it was never anything that became a problem so we dealt...but I suspect like autism, asperger's has degrees of severity. I'll look into that book you suggested. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
