[QUOTE="Enmeshedmom, post: 727802, member: 22547"] My 19 year old was exactly the same way and while we and his doctor suspect high functioning Aspergers he was never formerly diagnosed. He had a very hard time with social cues and all through school had difficulty fitting in with his peers. He could sit and talk with adults for hours but not kids his own age. He also was very moody and did not do well with change to routine or change in general really. Unfortunately I think he started smoking pot and continues to do so because he can interact with his peers that way. He never really had friends until he started using it. Now he has friends and goes out to hang out with them often but it seems like pot is always involved. I wish we would have gotten a formal diagnosis but I’m not sure if it would have changed anything for him but maybe I could have done something different. The doctor advised against it because he was making improvements even though they were behind everyone else. If I could only turn back time. [/QUOTE]
