[quote=Anonymous]My DS is 6 with an ASD level 1 DX. He loves, loves, loves drawing, writing, "making books", and reading. I count my blessings there but the problem is he is often guarded and evasive when I make the most casual of queries like, Hey what is that you drew, can you tell me about your story, etc. I have other older kids and know that 6 year olds don't often provide incredible narrative explanations but I'm concerned by his answers. He often hides his work, says it's "too hard to explain," or more often appears genuinely confused by what he drew or wrote.

His handwriting is legible but a lot of his drawings resemble symbols or foreign characters. He has no foreign language exposure.

I want to give you more reason for ridicule so I'll just admit I'm afraid he has some additional condition, in addition to ASD, that doesn't leave him in full control of his mind all the time. What would cause him to draw and write dozens of drawings and ages that don't make sense to him?[/quote]
