[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 744606, member: 1550"] Sounds like autism to this layperson although my son who has it is 24 and never had any behavior problems. All auties are different. A couple of things that.most auties I met all have is trouble with give and take communication, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) behaviors, most love to game (my son is 24 and on his own and still loves his gaming and buys tons of stuff) and a dislike of socializing with crowds or strangers. The.ones I know are loners, pretty well behaved, rule followers as they have black and white thinking and love routine. Sometimes autism can be comorbid with a mood disorder.Then you get more acting out. I was in an autism parent and kid support group with about 100 kids and adults with autism for years so I did meet a lot of spectrum people. It was supposed to be a social group but most of those with autism did not reach out to others and hung around with family. You could see that some were much higher functioning than others. Some had no social skills at all and would yell inappropriate things to the lifeguards (we met at a pool). My son is quiet and understands how to be socially appropriate and he lives alone and works. But he loves his videogames and they havent ruined his life (shrug) Auties have obsessions. Its part of the deal. Often its videogames or computers. Many find jobs with computers. Its hard to stop an autism from his obsession be it videogames, train schedules, memorizing maps, certain TV shows which they often can memorize or memorizing sports statistics. Videogames are very common though. [/QUOTE]
