[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 389683, member: 3907"] That's a very difficult question, because Autism Spectrum Disorder (Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) -- includes Asperger's, Autism, Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified, etc.) can manifest differently in different people. Asperger's often contains elements of Executive Dysfunction (problems managing information, sorting and sequencing, remembering all the steps in a task, organizing thoughts and actions, etc.), Sensory Integration issues (hyper-sensitive to light, noises, smells, textures, sounds -- or conversely, hypo-sensitive, or sometimes some of each), obsessive thinking, poor socialization, issues with eye contact...etc. A good place to start might be [URL]http://www.childbrain.com/[/URL]. There is a questionnaire that can help you assess whether your child is likely to have characteristics of Asperger's. It's not an official diagnostic tool, but it might give you some hints.
