[QUOTE="Dazed n Confused, post: 343962, member: 9086"] I read the symptoms for Aspergers and he has some of the symptoms. He does not do well with change, he doesn't like attention drawn to him, his clothes have to feel a certain way or he wont wear them. He is extremely sensitive and does not like people to be bullied or animals to be abused. He hit his growing milestones at the right age, walking, talking, etc. He is extremely smart, he was in honors classes before 9th grade. Everything went down hill around November of his 9th grade year. I should explain the school setting here. K-8th grade are at one school and then all of the elementary schools go to the High School together. So his 9th grade year he was mixed in with kids from 4 other schools. He became friends with 2 kids that I didn't get the best vibe from. He still talked with his old friends and hung out with his old friends. Xbox parties, football games, etc. His two new friends had him over to there house 2 times (they were brothers), it was shortly after that things started. I have had several people ask me if something happened, he has never said anything has and I don't know if he would. I just can't believe that a child who was asked to go back to Difficult Child and work as a paige, take a trip around the world with a program for gifted kids, already have college credits, and have goals set for his life, decline so fast. He no longer goes to school, doesn't socialize at all, and feels like no one cares about him. As a parent I am so lost. I could care less about him going to college, I just want the happy, sweet, child back. [/QUOTE]
