[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 23188, member: 1550"] One last thing: Substance abuse is very high in Aspergers Syndrome. The kids feel like geeks and misfits and are ostracized and this is one way they can try to fit in (albeit a negative way). Kids on the Spectrum have horrible social skills, very clueless, and tend to have low life skills, even though they can be in the genius range in IQ. They also tend to have narrow, focused inerests--computers and videogames are common, and way above the norm. They tend not to be able to relate to peers, sometimes do best with younger kids who are more accepting of strangeness or adults who find them precocious and intelligent. But they monologue rather than conversing back and forth. The globally speech delayed kids could have Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified, a different form of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Heck, I can't get this post out of my mind. I'd get the kids to a neuropsychologist. I wouldn't trust any other sort of professional for all these neurological quirks. Most professionals just dont do the right testing, and many are clueless themselves about higher functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Maybe your sister has it at a time when it was not heard of (Aspergers and Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified are only recognized within the past ten years). Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), unrecognized, would make a parent pull out her hair, trying to figure out "the strange, rigid, impossible, defiant" child. And the undiagnosed Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) child can get so frustrated the outbursts can get very severe. My son was very rageful until he got the right help--now he's very peaceful. I would sure give Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) a look. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
