[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 741838, member: 1550"] Does he understand give and take play and conversation? My son would run around with other kids but had no idea how to share toys or wait to listen for answers from others. He sort of monologued. His obsessions were letters, numbers and videogames. He also had meltdowns when he had to stop an activity to go somewhere...he had big trouble with transitioning from one activity to another. He was very sensitive to loud noise, smells and touch...we had to cut all the tags off his shirts. We couldnt take him to the fireworks. He would cover his ears and cry. Your son needing his blanket one way or else he has a meltdown is very ASDish. My son would get frantic if we took him somewhere in an alternate route. He had an amazing rote memory and would know. As an adult he has learned to compensate quite well but he had lots of help. The earlier the help starts in my opinion the better. He had helped for his differences....not for autism as he was not diagnosed until age 11. But the school and community help for his differences really helped him, even with incorrect labels. As an adult he is still different but he is a sweetie who NEVER gets angry and is very loving, works, lives alone with minimal adult services and has friends, although he is a loner by choice. He is truly my hero. He came far. Your son can have a great outcome too. [/QUOTE]
