[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 523672, member: 1550"] Count me in as one who is wondering about Aspergers Syndrome. These are normally very bright children who are quite prococious and often talk like "Little professors." They, however, tend to have no life skills/common sense and have very poor social skills with their same age peers. They are seen as eccentric. I would take her to a neuropsychologist. Auditory problems, sensory issues, ADHD, the whole nine yards are a part of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). And, by the way, so is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) behavior, especially if she has obsessive interests. Does she have a very good memory by rote, like she can memorize a whole movie or a book? Does she tend to use phrases she hears on television? Does she have trouble with abstract thinking as opposed to concrete thoughts? Many people think Bill Gates is an Aspie who has compensated for his problem, so being an Aspie does NOT mean you have to live a limited life. It really depends on your skills and if you are taught how to properly socialize! Many Aspies are known as being that eccentric but brilliant geek, not really that bad a thing :) [/QUOTE]
