[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 469379, member: 1550"] Since the main problem with ASDers is social inadequacies, I don't know, but I'd think that a socially adept kid would NOT be on the spectrum. Now socially adept means the child KNOWS how to socialize...it does NOT just mean that the child is friendly. Lots of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids are friendly, but they are inappropriate so that they still end up friendless. If I had a socially able child who was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), I'd probably discard the diagnosis. When I asked the neuropsychologist how to answer questions that had no clear answers, he said to answer the best I could. [/QUOTE]
