[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My level 1 DS is now 17. He’s improved in some areas but still struggles in others. School is going very well and he will likely attend college, but his main deficits are social rather than academic. Get your child involved in as many activities as possible while he’s young and prioritize socializing with peers. Help him find his Tribe.[/quote] Op Can you share more detail? [/quote] DS is academically gifted but socially impaired. The hallmarks of level 1 autism are inflexible thinking and difficulty in seeing another person’s point of view, which causes problems as kids get older and parents are less involved in managing friendships. The middle school years are hard, as friends want to be part of the “in crowd” and ASD kids often miss subtle social cues. Let DS pursue his interests because in those activities he will be most likely to find others like him. His obsession may also become the key to a future career.[/quote]
