[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 643186, member: 1550"] Confused, y Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) son is as much of a easy child as it ever gets...even moreso than most typical kids....but he spent huge chunks of time in his room. He is in his apartment after work except one day the weekend. He is VERY happy this way. Austics need and want to be alone. You can't make them enjoy people. They really, really need their much alone time. They also like electronics and, living on his own, he spends most of his not-at-work time with his electronics and to me that's ok. It's how he is wired. He's not going to hang at the mall to pick up girls or hit the movies with the guys. Not going to happen. I'm glad he's a good-natured young man with a good heart, a job, and a life he is content with. Now the "I hate you" doesn't go with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) necessarily cause us issues. My son is a big "I love you" guy. He has never ever said he hated me. So that, I'd think, would be a seperate issus. Many ASDers have co-morbid disorders, like mood disorders. Sonic just doesn't, but your daughter may. Tell ya one thing. Sonic can't stand to be a room full of people, whether it's to watch his sister play basketball (loud and crazy...he never did go) or try to be social at her graduation reception (again, he started panicking and had to leave).
