[quote=Anonymous]Just as there is a wide range of kids with autism spectrum disorders, there is a wide range of kids who have high-functioning autism spectrum disorder. Your nephew has HFA. He's verbal and will presumably be toilet-trained soon and can probably act appropriately in many situations despite some challenging behaviors. Your child's best friend would probably have been diagnosed with Asperger's if the diagnosis still existed but it's now under HFA also. She probably finds social communications more challenging than some of her peers and may have intense interests and repetitive behaviors. She may have been in some therapy when she was younger and the signs were more obvious but now is simply seen as a bit quirky. [/quote]
