[QUOTE="nvts, post: 385710, member: 3814"] Yup they can be aspies and not obsess about one particular thing. I've got 3 aspies, 2 boys and 1 girl (my daughter is turning 9 tomorrow) and a lot of what you describe fits like a glove...how lucky for you! When she was small (3 and 4) my big joke was that she had "3MS" (rather than PMS) and "menofours" (as opposed to menopause). Having made friends with a woman who's daughter also had been diagnosis'd with aspergers, we often discussed how it seemed like they were "hormonal and moody" unlike the typical males that were diagnosis'd. Non Verbal Learning Disorder is also something to look into. Self-esteem for kids diagnosis'd with aspergers and NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) is a huge issue because they tend to be their own worst critic. Nothing is how they thought it would come out and perfection or any deviation from what they pictured in their mind is tantamount to failure. Everyone is always commenting on how "smart" they are, yet they have problems in school and outside situations. They're often more comfortable speaking to adults rather than their peers and often times have a really bossy side. Keep coming back, ask a lot of questions and post away! It's a great group here with a ton of knowledge and experience! Beth [/QUOTE]
