[QUOTE="keista, post: 477350, member: 11965"] in my opinion it is absolutely, positively, typical Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) behavior. Sounds exactly like son. I noticed it a few years ago when we'd run into friends from school in various places. They wanted to give him an interactive "hello" and he'd refuse. At one point, he even went into a whole spiel how he was concerned about germs (just a convenient excuse). At that conversation, we got son to concede to a fist bump. Currently son can and does high fives with his friends now. However, the coaxing and teaching of this social skill, came from his friends and cousin - not from mom. Just like any other social skill, the importance of high fives needs to be TAUGHT to Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids. [/QUOTE]
