[QUOTE="Risorgimento, post: 596214, member: 16349"] Thank you, Midwest Mom. My DS is gifted in several areas, but he is just absolutely textbook for High-Functioning Autism (HFA) and probably always will be. But you're right that not all giftedness comes with spectrum-ish stuff. Interestingly, I read a study a few years ago of classical musicians which concluded that they possessed autistic traits to a far greater degree than the general population. This does not correlate to autism, but take it from someone who lived it -- you have to be a little spectrum-ish to be able to shut yourself into a practice room alone for hours and work on your music. :) [/QUOTE]
