[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 651169, member: 1550"] Hmmmmmmm. Well, he sounds like he has traits and could have it. Who knows? As for the gut-related, that isn't proven and is just a theory. We've been in a parent group for ASDers since Sonic was little. About half the parents had their kids on special diets. Half did not. Sonic was higher functioning than most of the kids there, including those diagnosed with Aspergers as far as he did not act inappropriately. Every month we had a "social" gathering with the ASDers at a pool. We used to laugh at the word "social." Sonic didn't socialize...none of them did, except with their siblings...but he didn't scream anything out loud like some or yell inappropriate stuff at the lifeguards. A few were sprouting some very sexual stuff to the ladies and their parents were trying to stop them. Some were adults. Some were little. It was a very interesting "social group" since none of them socialized. At any rate, not convinced any diets really help...a lot of the kids who were on diets were really symptomatic. They are learning as they go, I guess. At any rate, by the time they are eighteen, it doesn't really matter what their diagnosis is because we can't force them to stay in therapy, take medication, do the stuff we could make them do when they were younger. My concern is that you think you can control these kids and the pregnancy and even afterward and unless they let you do that, you can't. Also, you will find you have little to no control about who they choose to hang out with. I still think ever giving him the car is a very bad idea and have no understanding why you would want him behind the wheel. But you know him better than the rest of us. I hope I am wrong and the car does not cause him additional problems. But it sure was a factor with Princess. Everything got way worse once she got her driver's license and we finally decided not to be a part of that wild ride (pun intended) so we took and hid the keys.
