[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 62398, member: 1550"] Kids with high functioning autism (and I don't know if he has it or not, but it would explain the penis!) are NOT unable to speak and can act friendly (although they don't really "get" how to make friends unless they have interventions) and are often very bright, although they often need some special education. But they do tend to improve with time, especially if given LOTS of school help. medications can help with symptoms for 50% of autistic kids, however they wont' help the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) itself. IT's strictly the interventions. My son used to pee on his trampoline. He is still an odd duck at 14, but he is so much more "with it" and is no longer a behavior problem. He was hyperactive off-the-charts as a toddler, but now he's a couch potato. It's hard to get him to do things outside of the house. He enjoys school, but at home he prefers to do stuff alone and is hardly a typical teen. He's the easiest teen I ever had...lol Don't worry. Just see a neuropsychologist (and it's VERY different than a Neurologist). Neuroligists missed it with my son. They don't do the same sort of testing. A neuropsychologist will give you some sort of idea of his strengths and deficits and what may be causing his strange behavior. Here's an unofficial online test you can do to see if your son fits.
