[QUOTE="Waking, post: 744102, member: 23493"] Might I ask, what kind of services are offered to a high-functioning well-behaved child? As his mother looking at him the only thing I could possibly think that might be useful are social skills. What can I do at home in the interim? Yesterday we talked about how important it is to make eye contact with people and I sent him to school today with a goal of possibly trying to look someone in the eye and say thank you or give a genuine compliment. He said that would feel awkward, but he said also that he would try. As far as my husband goes I've noticed things like this since we met were married: When at a restaurant if wait staff stops by the table to ask how our meal is, my husband completely does not respond to them. It is as if they are invisible. I have often told him that he appears rude. He said but I just put a bite of food in my mouth, and I said then you should at least look at the person and nod and smile. I know that he's not trying to be rude, but it is rude. When my son has a goal to work on he will work on it until he Masters it . So regarding him not wanting to State his goal, he told me that it's because his goal didn't change from the last time. And the last time the coach chastised him and the team laughed. So when the coach asked again for a goal, my son actually thought, I have the same goal because I have not mastered it but if I say this again I'm going to get the same reaction. I don't know if there will be an official diagnosis or not, this is all so new to me [/QUOTE]
