[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 170746, member: 1550"] My closest friend has an Aspie son who is 30. He was diagnosed at 21. Sadly, it's only been 10 years since Aspergers/Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified have been acknowleged. Before that it was called "severe" ADHD. Her son also will not help himself. He is doing ok. He has an IQ of 160, but is on Disabililty. He flew to Chile to meet and marry his wife. They came back to the US and moved into low income housing, but at least they are still together. Her son was always overly friendly, but socially inappropriate and never felt like he had friends so he had s few serious meltdowns. He was misdiagnosed with bipolar and was on medications for years until he quit. He is a brilliant young man and a wonderful person. Although he has trouble holding jobs, he has been a missionary abroad. It's sad that they knew nothing about Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) except the very worse such a short time ago---so many people lost out. I wish you and him well. [/QUOTE]
