[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 575282, member: 2315"] Janet, My easy child/difficult child is an aspie he is 30 years old and was hooked in for his entire life. (early intervention started at 16 months full time 5 days a week) His diagnosis was PDDnos, dyslexic, speech impaired, executive functioning disorder etc. It was never Aspergers. I think it was because back then you were either classic Autistic or you were not at all. The spectrum idea only came into effect in more recently. So please don't feel guilty about not catching it in Billy. Even if it was a diagnosis that was being made when he was younger it could have been missed. When they function within a normal range no one looks much further. Would you believe that my easy child/difficult child was in PT and Occupational Therapist (OT) till he was in middle school ( inmore than one facility) and no one picked up that he could not rotate his hands to palms up. He used to twist his arm backwards to have you pour M&Ms or such into it. We all thought it was because of his spacial difficulties. He was in his first year of HS and he was geting into trouble for not doing his chin ups right when we finally realized his orthopedic problem. When we asked him why he never told anyone that he could not rotate his hands he said he thought everyone was like that. Lack of observation on his part for sure. LOL We immediately took him to the ortho and got a note for gym and pulled him out of his black belt classes at the Dr.'s advice. The doctor said he would end up permently damaging his shoulder if he continued karate. He manages this problem well but it was hard on all of us at first because it left all the trades out of his possibilities for a career which was the track he was in in schoo.l We had to change everything to make him on the college track and get tudors for him and sumer school to catch up.
