[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 650864, member: 1550"] Aspergers is no longer part of the DSM. It is on the spectrum so it is diagnosed as autistic spectrum disorder. Of course a spectrum is a spectrum, some better, some worse. He does sound ASDish to me. I have a rather bright grown child who is Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and his concrete thinking is different. But he has relaxed a lot as he got older. Relax. Most ASDers, Aspies or otherwise, are very likeable people as they get older and learn to control their frustration. Is he getting school interventions? Social skills? PT? Occupational Therapist (OT)? They start at age 3, if you are in the U.S. It's free of charge. My son stopped having outbursts entirely around the time he learned how to talk (age 5). But many ASDers keep having them. ADHD is a symptom of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Whether or not they co-exist or if the ADHD is part of the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is really up to the diagnostician. I am wondering if the strange lying, and it is lying, is a stimulant. ASDers stimulant...do things to self-soothe. Doesn't sound as if he is trying to pull one over on you or control you. [/QUOTE]
