[QUOTE="fun fam, post: 606185, member: 15196"] I realize it is early to asses his social skills and things may change with time---But, I don't think I have my head in the sand here either. I'm not trying to defend social-ness at all, because I'd be more than happy to discuss it if it seemed to be an issue. Its just that every professional we have met with says the same thing--that he is socially advanced if anything. And that's what I see too. And I've analyzed it a million times over. I know many in my family with ASDs. And I know that people on the spectrum can be outgoing, friendly, etc. My son does not have his tantrums in front of other kids (so far). He is much more easy going when friends are around. He is socially appropriate and doesn't do anything that other kids would find annoying, like talk too loud or stand too close or make noises. The other day, he was playing tag with 4 other boys his age. One boy moved to the edge, and started crying. The other kids didn't notice, but my son did. He ran over, put his arm around this kid and asked why he was sad. The crying kid said he felt left out of the game. My son said, "don't worry, I'll make sure you are included" and then told the other kids to play with him . Anyway, I could write about my son forever, and it would still be impossible for anyone else to see the whole picture. Cause you can't really tell what he's like unless you know him/live with him. He's one of those kids that almost seems like two different people, depending on what situation he is in. But anyway, I just needed to vent about our hard mornings is all. [/QUOTE]
