[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, it's called Autism SPECTRUM Disorder. Some people are severely affected; others not as much.[/quote] Not OP, but I think she's saying she doesn't understand what high functioning means if her nephew is supposedly high functioning. (Side note OP, you don't say how old he is, but your nephew doesn't sound high functioning. Are you sure they didn't mean 10 being the worst?)[/quote] Thank you, this is OP and this is exactly what I mean. Both kids are actually 6. When he sat us down to tell us, the 8/10 is how he described it to us in laymans terms, adding the "high-functioning". Knowing what little we know, he DID seem high-functioning, until I had a talk recently with the friends mom. Now I'm feeling for my brother and nephew. I don't know why they are hiding this from us, but that is unrelated. Yes, I'm wondering about high-functioning, which sadly, I'm realizing my nephew isn't. :([/quote]
