[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 569470, member: 1550"] My son is on the spectrum. He accepts it, but didn't really understand it so I took him to a professional who explained it much better than I ever could. He did not make my son feel like a freak. He explained the differences but did not make a big to-do over them and actually engaged my quiet son in a dialogue where he nodded and asked, "Oh, so you mean this is w hy I'm so sensitive when people criticize me?" He also "got" that there is a large spectrum and that his Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is not t hat severe. MY son has learned to help others with the same diagnosis who are lower functioning. However, he has nothing in common with them so I understand your son's confusion. [/QUOTE]
