[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 522436"] Yes, playing video games for hours on end counts as repetitive behavior AND limited interests IF he does the video games instead of other things. Both my difficult children have varied interests but there are some things they will ALWAYS do if given a choice between those certain activities and ones not or "high" interest. From my understanding, an Asperger's evaluation should focus more on the social awkwardness and communication. Personally, I would fight tooth and nail to have the psychiatrist's assessment override. Take an advocate with you. It sounds like you might have a fight on your hands. Go prepared!!! [/QUOTE]
