[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 44233, member: 1550"] One thing about Aspergers that some people don't understand. The kids can and often are VERY VERY friendly, BUT they are extremely inappropriate. They don't know how to play with their peers and they alienate their peers because they have no social skills. It's not being unfriendly; it's being socially clueless and impaired. Just curious. What is a syndrome mix? Sounds like he is going to work primarily with drugs? Does he not think Seb may have Aspergers? He doesn't think he needs interventions of any kinds? My son had serious sensory issues (swallowing was also hard). With interventions though my son is doing great, his sensory issues are really improved as are his social issues. Is this doctor going to look at the younger boy? Are either getting any services? Most importantly, are the kids getting better? My son started improving right away with interventions (it was started before age one, and it's been fantastic). in my opinion it wouldn't be a bad idea to get a second opinion. I'm certainly not a doctor, but again in my opinion he needs more help than he's getting, and behavioral methods (normal ones [img]:smile:[/img] ) often don't work with our kids.
