[QUOTE="isis, post: 565457, member: 15590"] Not really. When he was younger, other kids seemed to [I]love[/I] him. It was this weird thing where we were living one life at home and yet parents would randomly and spontaneously tell us how much they lovedhim, what a great kids he was, that his face seemed to glow (I'm not making this up) and other kids seemed really attracted to him. Now, he has very little interest in being with other kids and his prickly personality no longer invites other kids, and I think most adults think he's a little odd. But I really thought the hallmark of asperger's was the inability to percieve social cues. Do kids with Asperger's (as opposed to further down the Autistic spectrum where I understand they don't) display empathy? He definitely does, but maybe I am hanging on to that too much. I know a couple of Asperger kids and they have an affect different than M's. I really really don't want to have my head in the sand. If any of these assumptions are wrong, I would like to hear so.
