[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does he want to live in the dorms? I would absolutely follow his lead about that. Has he actually been diagnosed with autism, not just a psychologist's musings? If he does struggle socially, he already knows that and giving it a name would allow him to have an explanation other than that he's "wrong" or "bad." Certainly his feelings about his peers and his social interactions are something he should explore with the psychologist.[/quote] He initially did not want to live in the dorms. He decided to when the psychologist told him he would have a greater chance of making friends. He really wants more friends. The psychologist recently did psych ed testing so that in case ds needs accommodations at college he would have them. When I showed home old school reports, he said it confirmed it. So the assessment and reading old reports made it clear to him. He definitely has been exploring his social issues but they have never been labelled as autism.[/quote]
