[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 261684, member: 1550"] I echo SRL. My son can seem very normal when he is relaxed and with people he knows and trusts. Then he can have a conversation with the television in his room :blushing: (no, he does NOT hallucinate--he talks to himself). Or he can keep his eyes down and stand off in a corner when he is threatened by a large or even small group of people he's unfamiliar with. People tend to think he's shy because of this. His closest friend is also an Aspie. It's interesting to hear them talking nonstop upstairs to each other because my son is a terrible communicator unless he is talking about his videogames and computers. Basically, that's what these two talk about. I believe Aspies KNOW how they feel VERY WELL, but don't know how to put their feelings into words. Many can not really have a conversation, even if their vocabularies are very advanced (which is common) or if they are extremely intelligent (also common). They still don't "get" how to do a give and take conversation. Abstract ideas confuse them. They may memorize a book by rote, yet not be able to explain what they did on a vacation, even though they KNOW what they did. They can't put the experience into words. If this sounds familiar, you may have an Aspie. They are great kids. But they need interventions at home and at school, and it's not a psychological problem. It's neurological. So they need different types of help from kids with psychiatric issues. Note: Some Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids are VERY oppositional. They get extremely frustrated. [/QUOTE]
