[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 313009, member: 1550"] My son's quirkiness is more noticeable now that he's older. At the same time, he has had lots of social skills classes and is doing better than many kids with Aspergers. He spent a lot of time in Special Education because he learned better in a small environment. He made friends there and was sort of a leader. Now he has kept those friends and made new friends. They aren't the popular kids, but Aspies are usually disinterested in being popular :raspberry-tounge:. The other kids at school call his lunch table "the geek table" because all the kids are so smart. He doesn't mind, he smiles when he tells me that. The Aspies I met basically are naive with hearts of gold. My son is the greatest kid with the best heart. He had meltdowns as a young child, but he doesn't now. I think he feels more secure with who he is and is less frustrated. I think social skills classes may help your son a lot. In the real world, people are less tolerant of our quirky kids. Take care!!!! :) [/QUOTE]
