[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 483528, member: 1514"] I know there have been several kids on the board who have flavors of both disorders, Fran is one who most comes to mind. It does sound to me like your son does have both issues going on. It wouldnt be odd for him considering his genetic history. Oddly enough though the whole personal space thing is something we had huge issues with concerning Cory and I dont think he has any Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) traits though reading other peoples emotions may not have been his strongest skill when he was younger...or even now. Cory was very touchy feely and the little boy who wanted to hug everyone long after it was appropriate for little boys to do so. We worked on the "bubble" that surrounds everyone and you dont go inside anyones bubble unless the invite you. The bubble was arms reach. However, I also have a very black and white thinker...lord...am I lucky or what to have so many kids so I get tons of examples of stuff...lol? Billy is my rigid thinker. He is the one who has rules and theories and those are set in stone and you simply cannot shake them. It makes things interesting. For example. I had him drive me somewhere the other day and we had to merge onto a highway. He had to come to a dead stop when attempting to merge because there was a car in the right hand lane that was in the blind spot that was attempting to slow down for us to get on the road but he was only using the mirrors and he couldnt see them clearly and he wouldnt turn his head to look. He just complained that they wouldnt get out of HIS blind spot...lol. I took my car back at the next rest area. lol. He thinks he should be able to drive using the mirrors alone because that is the way it is taught in the drivers manual. Where I dont know but he has that in his head. [/QUOTE]
