[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 686784, member: 1550"] My son was always quirky. We thought it was autism but nobody listened. He was never afraid to go to school but is uncomfortable in crowds especially strangers. Sonic was mainstreamed from Special Education,vwith an aid, in middle school and mainstreamed on his own in high school. He has always been very sweet. And he is definitely his own person...not the same interests as other 22 year olds. Still likes cartoons but is definitely maturing slowly. The mall will never be his hang out. He loves videogames and it doesnt bother us one bit. Most ASDers have intense, limited, sometimes strange obsessions. It is part of the neurological difference. As long as he is happy, and he is, so are we. Sonic is able to live in his own apartment. We are glowing with foolish parental pride. He lives a pretty normal life and is such a loving son. Maybe search autism vs. Conduct disorder. They are very different really. [/QUOTE]
