[QUOTE="Malika, post: 530101, member: 11227"] Well, if one wants a distance diagnosis of autism, this forum is definitely the place to come :) I wouldn't worry, Ktllc, though it sounds as if you are not. I am sure there have been other "mini adults" in history who were geared towards responsibility and true social integration, which sounds the case with your boy, before now. It is unusual, though, interesting (to me). Play is said to be such an integral part of childhood experience and certainly I can see that in my son's life. He spends long periods involved in intensely imaginative "dialogues" and situations that he animates with his figurines when he is playing by himself and other kids and to me this is a vital exercise of early childhood. Would I worry if he didn't want to do that but just wanted to help me around the house? No, I would just see it as a particular trait of a very responsible character - but I don't have that problem :) (though J does love to help on occasion, as do most kids). [/QUOTE]
