[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 188567, member: 3419"] Thank you all. I do think my difficult child is on the spectrum. I also think that ADHD is part of the spectrum ... too much of a coincidence that nearly every Aspie is ADHD. Something neurological there. Yes, the social cluelessness is a biggie. And you're right, he does make good eye contact within the family but not with-strangers. I will ask the teacher when we have our first mtng, how he does with-her. I filled out an Aspie/Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) form last night and was wondering why I bothered, since most everything was 0. Then I got to the 3rd page, and bingo! Everything was a 10. I mean, difficult child to a T. It was the most comprehensive "quiz" I've taken so far--the others were only one page--and it divides behaviors into categories. For ex., sensory (touch) is one, auditory is another, sight is another, social is yet another. Most just lump them together. I like this a lot better. I'm doing it on a sep. piece of paper so husband can do it, too, and we'll compare our answers. I'm pretty amazed that he is cooperating, but this thing with-the police has everyone concerned. Yes, The Big Bang Theory is the show the dr was referring to! I'll have to watch it. MM, I've seen Rainman. Actually, that movie did a lot for autism, except that for people like me, we keep expecting that savant part to come shining through. I'm still waiting to take my difficult child to Las Vegas. :( [/QUOTE]
