[QUOTE="buddy, post: 530094, member: 12886"] I think it just shows how many symptoms can run thru families but the line between personality traits and true Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) as in the "disorder" is when there is a problem. It is part of the old and the new criteria...and the school criteria too that it interferes with functioning, so he would never be given a diagnosis at this point.... but as you said, it is worth just being aware of. And though this is a long long way off...its worth being aware of in case he ever has children of his own with issues. He is likely also doing well because you really are so accepting and able to adapt your parenting for each one of your kids...each of whom has little (and a few bigger) interesting traits that may be flags for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), but you just get them what they need and accept them as they are. Pretty cool. [/QUOTE]
