Ours is fascinated with fans and their spinning. He spins himself too. He also has a very very sweet personality and disposition. The only thing he would run into a problem with, in terms of the category of Aspergers, is that he doesn’t speak and I’m told that this one thing does not fit into Aspergers.
Grand son loved spinning. Since we bought him a trampoline for our house and his house, he now jumps and seldom spins any more.
My son was also fascinated with fans, a spinner, started talking late, and had problems communicating what he knew. He had senior level reading skills in 6th grade but couldn’t write a stitch. Other than being told he was borderline ADD, and being hated by his lesbian principal, no other major issues. He does hate math, too. He is very mechanically inclined (so am I) and does have problems with friends. He is now 22 and a Marine. A great rifleman and aRtistic (but doesn’t do it anymore-I kept all his work).
