[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 660590, member: 1550"] This is a total Aspie trait, if the child has fixated or obsessed on different things since very early. It is hard to distract them. I never did learn how to and my twenty-one year old autie still has obsessions and we accept that about him as it is part of Aspergers and doesn't go away. He lives alone and does go to work and play sports so he can videogame all he likes when he is alone at home in his own apartment. None of my business and he is doing really well for somebody with his challenges and he is such an incredibly nice and police young man. An Aspie usually has very narrow interests, it doesn't change, and you can't change it. When they are adults, they tend to continue to have narrow interests and social skill issues. Now if your daughter has lots of friends and makes and keeps them easily, I would seriously question the Aspergers diagnosis. Social skills problems is the worst problem they have, along with trouble communicating well, EVEN IF THEY HAVE A GOOD VOCABULARY. They often don't know how to describe how they feel or to read how somebody else feels. My son learned how to gauge how others feel, but not all auties do learn that without interventions. That's a reason some seem to have no empathy...they tend to be expressionless. But they do have empathy if they understand it. If she is bright, but on the autism spectrum, you may very well not understand how her mind processes things. You wouldn't know unless you were explained in detail or read up on it a lot. They can't think like us and they don't, but they can be happy and live good lives, if accepted for who they are. [/QUOTE]
