[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 337977, member: 1550"] There is no speech delay with Aspergers. Often these kids are precocious and sound like little professors, especially when they talk about their obsessive interests. Some read early. I would revisit the ADHD diagnosis. ADHD behavior is typical with Aspergers. medications made my son mean and aggressive and didn't help his attention. He had a great aid in school who taught him how to focus on the main points and, when older, to take notes. My son's last report card, mainstreamed, was a 3.45 average. Still, we have worries about his future ability to hold a good job. My son didn't even handflap and he has Aspergers/hilgh functioning autism. The earlier you start intervetnions, the better the outcome. Aspergers can be a heartbreaker...a smart kid who can't make it in the workplace or life because he is naive and clueless. He needs help. And not talk therapy...autism type help... Aspies do not all act out. My son is very placid. Most act out when they are frustrated due to communication glitches. Aspies, in spite of advanced vocabulary, are clueless communicators of their wants and needs. That is a chunk of a big problem. ADHD is really not Aspergers. Many ADHD kids do ok socially. Aspie kids do not. Kids find them strange, overbearing, too shy, or inappropriate. Aspie kids don't have a clue how to socialize the right way and often do better with adults and very young kids who won't judge their behavior. [/QUOTE]
