[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is 3.5 and he has a very vivid imagination. He has one imaginary friend he plays with A LOT. He will spend an hour walking in a circle, making hand gestures and having a back and forth conversation with his “friend.” His preschool teachers brought up that sometimes he has difficulty completing projects or loses focus during an activity because he starts having conversations with his “friend.” They said he is very bright, and on target in all academic areas. They said on the playground he will start out playing with his peers but that it’s always short lived because he will check out of the play and start playing with his “friend.” Would you be concerned? How much do this is normal? [/quote]

I've been suspecting that my 16 y.o. has Asperger's (now called High Functioning Autism) and watched some videos on it.  One of the videos went into the imaginary friend situation that lots of Aspie kids have. Go to youtube and search Tony Attwood; he's big in the field and his videos are very informative (and the video talking about the imaginary friend was one of his)[/quote]
