he is different.
He is very capable of being responsible and taking care of his safety and cooking, but he is a quirky young man. He still enjoys children's videogames and movies more than adult...and my five year old grandson plays more advanced videogames than he does. It is not due to Sonic having a low IQ as he doesn't. He is just still very young in his interests and maybe he will always be. He does enjoy his job and is very punctual and hardworking. It is his interests and inability or disinterest in making lots of friends or going out with them that is very different. Yesterday he went to see a new Disney film. He loves Disney. He went alone, and was just fine going alone. Yet he is sweet, polite, beloved by all who know him and very responsible.
Autistic spectrum is different for all kids, but in the end it is about social differences a nd quirks and growing up slower and maybe never liking typical interests regarding age. I am very proud of him and love him the way he is. But he IS different. And he knows it and doesn't seem to care.
I suspect some Asperger diagnoses are wrong, but in my son's case high functioning autism...well, he is classic. And he is also happy with a great sense of humor and an inner sense of peace. He is my hero. Just felt the need to explain
