[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 742904, member: 23349"] I love the butterfly story. NFL, if it helps, I was diagnosed with high-functioning Aspergers well into adulthood - what the latest DSM just lumps in with high functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). I'm not sure if I were reassessed now where I would fall. Some things I think I've outgrown (or outlearned), some things I've learned to work around, and some things (mainly on the sensory processing side of things, and facial recognition/facial expression recognition) I've just accepted as part of who I am. But I function. I wasn't diagnosed young, so I was never given any outs or special dispensations. A mixed blessing, to be sure. But it did mean that I got out in the world and learned to make my way, because I wasn't given any other options. You may be surprised at what your son is capable of when he is forced to be responsible for himself. He may be surprised himself. [/QUOTE]
