Who diagnosed him? Was he tested? Any early chaos in his infant-three years? Sounds like a hodgepodge of possible issues and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) could well be one. Actually have you considered taking him to a neuropsychologist, which is NOT a pediatric neurologist? Any psychiatric problems on either side of his DNA tree (even if he never met bio. father, he is half his father's DNA). These can give you clues to what might be going on with him. Aspie and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are now the same in the DSM and have a lot in common...they are both autistic spectrum disorder. Only difference, according to DSM, is that Asperger's kids did not have a speech delay when younger, but they all have trouble expressing themselves correctly and with speech pragmatics, if he indeed is on the spectrum...
