[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 640720, member: 1550"] Aspergers includes advanced language, although they often have trouble holding give-and-take conversations as they tend to monologue at people about their special interests and not always listen back. My son had good physical skills but was behind in language and potty skills. He has a great vocabulary now and is far more social at 21 than when he was little, however he has been having interventions since infancy practically. He is diagnosed with a different type of autism than Aspergers called pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified. Kids on the autism spectrum in all areas often don't like being touched due to sensory issues. They may seem to have no empathy because many, especially Aspies, tend to have emotionless faces and no idea how to express emotions. ANd they can't read emotions in others and can sometimes embarass us with their inappropriateness. Overhwhelmed in crowds...my son still knows when he has to leave. He can not handle a lot of people together. This is also typical of kids who are on the spectrum. They have such sensitive senory issues that they are easily overwhelmed by noise, crowds, a lack of schedule (they like things to be the same) and just any sort of chaos throws them off. My son used to rage in the car if we went to, say, his school in a different direction than usual. He'd say, "That's not the way! That's not the way." Even if the road was blocked and we had no choice this would upset him. Even if we got there and said, "See? We're here!" he would still have to calm himself from us having taken a different route.On an interesting note, he has a crazy sense of smell and can smell things that others can't from rooms or blocks away. His senses are so sharp...yet so sensitive. These particular kids on the spectrum can make tremendous strides with the right interventions. It is NOT a hopeless problem by any means. Do you have services for autism in NZ? I find that some countries have more services for children who are differently wired than other countries so please don't be offended. Our kids get lot sof help in school and also the community, but I know in some places there are no real interventions in schools. [/QUOTE]
