| I have a child that was diagnosed with Aspergers. I am realizing that there is a wide spectrum as it relates to autism. Our child is very high functioning. He is warm, loving, generous, caring. He enjoys being held, kissed, loves attention. He adjusts well to changes in schedules, has a memory like an elephant, does well in school, loves to learn. I think he is the kindest person I have ever met and he is so sensitive! He just loves to do the right thing and absolutely hates displeasing anyone.
charleston2045 mentioned her child's main problems are behavior and social skills - I feel my child does too. He also has difficulty with his motor skills (writing) but NO problems playing video games, lol. Oh and he has difficulty with his speech.
Cuthie thanks for the tip on seeing a Pediatric Neurologist. We had planned to have him re-evaluated to make sure this is indeed what he has, just to be certain.
I just want him to be happy and lead as "normal" life as he can. I hope he can find love, go to college, get married, be independant.
Thanks OP for creating this thread as well as everyone for sharing your stories and experiences. It helps a lot!
