[QUOTE="mymulligan, post: 609778, member: 17061"] I read the article and this stood out for me [FONT=Georgia]Individuals with Aspergers tend to have one or two highly-focused interests and can talk at length about them. My son doesn't really talk at length about them but for about 1.5 years he was VERY focused on his lovey (attachment object) For another 1.5-2 years it was Thomas the train but not only Thomas....GORDON ! So it was one specific character and very very single minded. Then it was Spiderman since christmas 2 years ago with a break for other things here and there but always back to the constant costumes. The constant play. Crying if a friend didn't want to play it. But he doesn't really talk about it at length and he certainly doesn't speak formally as the article suggests. He's very graceful socially for his age actually. I always thought it was [/FONT][FONT=Georgia, Utopia, Palatino Linotype, Palatino, serif]hyper focus from the ADHD. But could this be a symptom of mild aspie? If so how did all these experts miss it? he really doesn't seem to meet the criteria for bipolar. I do though!!![/FONT] [/QUOTE]
