Asperger’s symptoms run in my family history for several generations. But, creativity does too.

What do you think of this symptom list?

This is actually very interesting. My son definitely fits this quite well from what I can intially read over. I am bookmarking this and will be doing more research on it.

I had heard that there was going to be more definition for High functioning autistics. I do think that there is a need because the challanges for them are different from the non functioning. For example, my son knows geography. Taught the teacher. He finally gave up and just gave him the tests for it after 2 days. He passed with high 90s two semester of geography in two and half days. It was amazing.

Thanks for the useful info!

Verify interesting links. I sent the PDF to my wife. #1 son matches much of that. #3 son is quick witted, physically agile and has great executive functioning. His problem really is a staying on task issue. He once "snitched" ADD meds from a fellow student and got a perfect score on his math exam.

I've noticed a familial relationship. I teach special ed, and when you've got one kid diagnosed with it, if you start looking for relatives you generally find them.

Thanks for the links, hadn't seen them before.
