[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 738175, member: 1550"] Most autistic kids, which is a developmental delay not a mental illness, have problems in school with organuzing, socializing, not understanding HOW to properly socialize, behavior, learning problems even if smart, sensory processing disorder (huge) and strangeness. My son loved to repeat shows and commercials ver batum. He loved sameness. ASDers cant handle change. They dont like it, even if youythink a kid should be excited over the change. Often they keep their thi gs always in the same place and freak out if they are moved. If my Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) son was doing something and had to stop to go somewhere it was a tantrum. They dont do well with stopping and starting but it is mot due to brattiness. Most love the calmness and sameness of TV and videogames. And good luck getting them to have different interests. They seem obsessed...which is part of autism. My son is 25 and works and lives on his own but still loves his games and movies. He is not interested in hanging out, malls, or socializing like other young men. My son would rather be home than go out. He is however productuve and very kind and not bored. He likes sameness and repetition. When young he would play certain sports if we pushed it but that never became a passion. He does LOVE to watch the Olympics. Uslualy no sports. Videogames. TV shows. He does have a close friend that likes what he likes so they go out to eat and on bike rides sometimes. He is well liked. Autistic kids are usually different types of people with poor to no understanding of social skills and an inability to handle loud noise, change or frustration. They can have tantrums and wrongfully be labeled behavior problems or ODD. They fixate on certain things like train schedules or certain shows. See the character of Sheldon.on tje Big Bang Theory. He pretty much acts out a very brilliant young man who has a form of autism, but most struggle in school, unlike him. His social striggles are very Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). My son is not as bad as he is socially. He has had interventions and learned a lot about socislizing. No two are exactly alike but I do know my son would never ask to talk to a psychologost. He did not do well having give and take conversations. He is better now but he used to either monologuem not listening to what others responded, or answer almost all questions similar to "I dont know." Or shrugging. Its largely a communication, social and OCDlike disorder. We needed a high level neuro psycologist from Mayo Clinic to catch the aitism with my son. Ten hours of intensive testing for all disorders. A ten page report with very detailed explanations. Nothing is easy to diagnose in a child and mistakes are made. My sons nuero psychologist told me that because there are no blood tests, even the esteemed Mayo Clinic where this man was from makes mistakes all the time. My son was 11 when he was diagnosed and put into autism therapies and it hss been great for him. Unlike with mental illness, autistics get better with time although they tend to always be a bit different. medications are not always necessary. It is hereditary.
