[QUOTE="geekologie, post: 349131, member: 8981"] What is Aspergers-lite? The child psychologist was able to say that it is definitely not ADHD, and that he has some signs of Aspergers but not enough to diagnose him at this time. His challenges seem to be mainly in social interaction, so she has given us some books to work with, role playing games, etc. to help him better navigate social situations. I am curious about what "Aspergers lite" is... from what I've read about Apergers it doesn't really fit except for his rigid attitude during play - either the other kids play his way or there is a meltdown. He is very unwilling (or unable) to compromise. But he doesn't go on and on about a favorite topic, has no problem with eye contact or back-and-forth conversations... he really seems like a typical four year old in most ways. The "What your explosive child is trying to tell you" book was a big help, thanks so much for the recommendation. The "Big Kid/Little Kid Brain" game is a huge hit! [/QUOTE]
