[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 23457, member: 1550"] Aspergers kids can seem very self-absorbed because many just don't "get" people and are more interested in thier obessive interests than people. Aspergers is severe social cluelessness and I would try to get him preventative interventions YESTERDAY because the older he is when he starts, the harder it is for him to assimilate them. My son didn't meet all the criteria for Aspergers so he was diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified or atypical autism, and he has made leaps and bounds strides. Aspie/Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified kids can't help having trouble with transitions, but interventions can help them. They do not respond to "typical" discipline or therapy and medications won't solve the problem. Many are extremely bright, but puzzle us because they are quirky and often don't "get" life kills as well as not "getting" social skills. I'm going to post a good site about Aspergers.
