[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 576583, member: 1550"] Suz, I think some issues are just always going to be question marks. I can't figure out my older son either. He is clearly, if an Aspie, high functioning too...he also never had any obsessions other than videogames, which it seems all the boys had, and he had friends, although he wasn't always very nice to them. On top of that, without a doubt my son has a mood disorder so that throws a kink in there. I mean...sometimes I don't even care what my son has. I just wish he was a genuinely nice person. Seems like most of the time, when he is nice, it is done deliberately to make somebody like him. For example, he likes this young woman who has a diabetic cat and when she said she couldn't see him because her cat was sick and she was afraid to leave him, my son was all compassion and understanding. But it wasn't because he was actually feeling compassion, if you know what I mean. He just knew it would make this young woman like him more, which it did. As he explained it to me, "The strategy really worked." In fact, this particular son doesn't like animals at all and didn't really understand why this girl was so worried about her cat. He thought s he was being overly silly, but also thought indulging it would put him in her favor. Know what I mean?? Stuff like that...defies labeling. [/QUOTE]
