[QUOTE="Fran, post: 389741, member: 3"] It reallys shows itself differently in different people. Not to mention that the lines are pretty blurred between Asperger's, Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified and a few other diagnosis' that have very close overlapping symptoms. Most Aspie's tend to be socially awkward or shy. My difficult child is out going, hyper verbal, good natured and more flexible than most. He is definitely not the average but at the core, his social skills are not what they should be for someone who is 26. He has an innocence and even a superficiality. He'd much rather talk about comic books, super heroes, video games, Halloween or whatever his interest, or sometimes obsession, is than ask how you are? or even care to know someone's name he just met. They are self absorbed but not because they are bratty but because their world is totally revolving around them. They can't seem to see the world unless it relates to them. I would suggest that you start to read, research, and join sites that are about Autistic spectrum disorders. None of our kids seem to be the same. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
