[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 129613, member: 1991"] ON the social front - just because he's a leader in games doesn't mean it can't be Asperger's. The thing is, while HE is in control, everything is fine. But if he has to follow someone else, and rely on body language and some degree of empathy (at this age) to do so, then you see problems. difficult child 3 is VERY outgoing socially, will approach other kids (and adults) to interact, but because he doesn't always understand APPROPRIATE, he gets the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) label. And it fits. An especially bright child will adapt better than otherwise, and as difficult child 3 put it when he was 8, "I'm getting better at pretending to be normal." Because that is what they try to do, constantly - to fit in. Good luck with this one. And read the book - it helps. I like the futon idea for sleepwalking/napping with you but not IN your bed. Maybe a good compromise for now. Marg [/QUOTE]
