[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 100859, member: 1991"] "Good social skills" is very subjective. A high-functioning kid with, say, Asperger's Syndrome could have no trouble at school at age 12. difficult child 1 didn't, he was fine. But he was constantly stimming with the noises. There is a limit to how much they can control the stims. difficult child 1 could change his and keep changing until he got something he felt more comfortable with. He stims far less these days, but I do remember a vocal stimulant only about three years ago, not long before his 21st birthday. And difficult child 1, despite being quite popular (with his friends) and very bright, is definitely Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). Trying to diagnose Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) is very subjective. The older a person is, the brighter a person is, the harder it is to diagnose. I definitely agree with the suggestion to get a neuropsychologist evaluation done. For your own interest there is an informal, unofficial Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) questionnaire that might be worth taking. It's on [url="http://www.childbrain.com."]http://www.childbrain.com.[/url] Sometimes we have a concept of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) or autism that is incorrect, or we mighty be misunderstanding what we are seeing.
