[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 498769, member: 3419"] Kttlc, good example, working under the hood of the car. (Reminds me of a cute story about my son, bit of a tangent here ... a friend came over to help me fix his bike, and she told him not to touch the tools, especially the Allen Wrench. Later, she asked him to repeat what she said, and he said, "I'm not supposed to touch anything because that's Allen's wrench." lol!) [I]Now, why is that the professionals tell me V is not on the spectrum because he understands non verbal communication?? [/I] [I]Which [/I]professionals? Most of them want to go by the book. It's easier. And frankly, a lot don't have experience with-spectrum disorders. They just go for the obvious. "Spectrum" is the operative word. Sad but true. Considering how may professionals miss dxes in the hospital when people are bleeding through the nose, it makes sense to me that they would miss something far more subtle. [/QUOTE]
