[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 150452, member: 1550"] I agree with SRL. I"m seeing red flags for maybe Aspergers everywhere. Sounds a lot like autistic spectrum disorder. Of course, WE can't diagnose. To get everything done right, I'd take him to a neuropsychologist. They in my opinion are the absolute best evaluators. They do tons of testing. My son had ten hours of it (he's on the spectrum, also high functioning). I wouldn't let this go. I'd have the NeuroPsychs. Often Psychiatrists miss this because it's neurological, but mimic ks psychiatric problems. My son has Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. He has good eye contact with people he knows, but tends to look down when he doesn't know somebody well. Higher functioning kids are harder to spot, but they need the same interventions of lower functioning kids in order to "get" life skills and social skills. My son has really improved with interventions. It took us until he was 11 to get him dxds. yet we, his parents, knew. It was a relief to get the diagnosis., and he also then qualified for more help. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
