[QUOTE="fun fam, post: 550215, member: 15196"] Thanks for your reply, Midwest mom! I will look and see if I can find a neuropsychologist in my area. I hadn't thought of that. I have thought about aspergers a lot, just because it runs in husband's family (an uncle, and two nephews have some form of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)) but my son does not fit the social aspects of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) at all. To answer your questions. [B] D[B]oes [/B]he play WITH them and TALK to them or does he sort of just play beside them? [/B] yes, he talks with them, interacts with them, imagines with them, creates games with them. He is a popular kid and I can't explain it other than he is socially very normal from what I can tell. He does not act at all like his cousins with aspegers socially. [B]Does he make good eye contact? [/B] Yes [B] Does he have any obsessive interests? [/B] He is somewhat obsessed with visual mediums like wii, and the ipad. [B]Trouble transitioning? [/B]He does have trouble transitioning. If he is doing something he likes, the doesn't want to stop, even though I give him 10, 5, and 2 minute warnings. He also has trouble getting ready to go places.
