[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 570394, member: 1550"] Autistic kids can be social. They just don't know how to be appropriate so they annoy other kids or else other kids just don't gravitate toward them...often this doesn't show clearly until they are older. My son was very active so other kids enjoyed running around with him when he was little. As he hit third grade or so, when relationships are deeper than just running on the playground and making silly faces, he stopped having friends. He didn't know how to enter their world appropriately. He is nineteen now and much happier with who he is, but he will never be that comfortable with new people or even most people. Since he has a limited few obsessive interests (which is another symptom of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)) he tends to pick others who share them. It is common for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids to be wrongly diagnosed. My son did not get the right diagnosis until he was 11. [/QUOTE]
