[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 529108, member: 3930"] I know what you are saying is right. It brought tears to my eyes. Thanks. I guess I am afraid difficult child's self esteem won't be able to take it. It was horrible talking to the doctor with him in the room - listening to the doctor talk about why he might not have any super close friends and why they might think he is weird. Geez! The Dev pediatrician did say if a conclusion could not be reached at the next appointment (with the completed GARS-2's) then he would consider administering the ADOS. The things that I indicated that the doctor put in his report (above) are slight. Not extreme. He makes friends easily and gets along with others at Scouts or team sports - he just doesn't have any super close friends. I don't know. Is that so abnormal for a boy his age? He is super smart and talks about things that are over his friends heads. I think now instead of continuing to carry on conversations with them - he just kind of keeps quiet about that stuff. He thinks the stuff they do is stupid and boring. And as far as him purposely annoying people like the ODD would indicate - sometimes I think he has no idea why he is getting in trouble - other times I swear he has to know when we are screaming STOP to him. Thanks for putting this out there - you are right --> "if he does have Asperger's, that fact won't change just because no one has officially given him that title". [/QUOTE]
