[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 442421, member: 1550"] My son is on the high end of the autism spectrum. He is a nice, polite young man and his teachers LOVE him. He is eager to help others and DOES have a sense of humor. His eye contact is ok with the family, not so great with strangers. He is NOT hyper. When he was a toddler he was hyper. Now he is a couch potato and we have to force him to ride his bike or just do anything. He can sit still in class, although he can be fidgety. Many Aspies are not physical and don't hit. My son would be more apt to be the one getting hit than doing it. His is naive...way too trusting. The man symptom of Aspergers/high functioning autism is a lack of ability to socially interact appropriately and often a cluelessness about life skills. An example of an Aspie who is friendly (yes, there are friendly Aspies), is a child who goes of up everyone/anyone, whether or not he knows the child, and starts talking about whatever he wants or starts asking inappropriate questions, often standing too close or using a loud voice. They are then depressed when they scare off the other child or put the other child off. They need social skills training BIG TIME. And often they need life skill nudges too, such as forcing them to understanding that showering is a GOOD thing...that others don't like to be around smelly people. I think he sounds Aspie too, but you should get him evaluated. [/QUOTE]
