[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 115224, member: 1550"] Just curious. Why are you sure it's not Aspergers? Are you willing to take him for an evaluation--I do think he shows signs of a disorder and, if it were my kid, I'd want to get early help. At least I'd want a neuropsychologist to test him intensively. You can be brilliant and still have a problem and I'm in the "better to be safe than sorry" category. My son had hyperlexia and he has high functioning autism (Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified). He could read fluently at age two. I thought he was a genuis. Not being able to hold a conversation, even with a good vocabulary, is sort of a red flag. I'd want every i dotted and every t crossed so that my little guy had the best chance in life over the long term. Daughter too. Your son may need interventions, again, in spite of being bright. My son's early "being ahead" started to slide badly in third grade when he had to do abstract thinking and deal more with the other children. [/QUOTE]
