[quote=Anonymous]Thanks, everyone. This is OP. My ASD teen also has ADHD, so certainly there's an attention component. On the one hand, my child is highly gifted in areas such as math. But s/he recently took a bus going in the wrong direction. At age 12 we once had to call the police to go looking for my child, because s/he got lost while on vacation walking back to our beach house -- which was a few doors away on the ONLY road, because s/he took a footpath away from the houses, instead of the road. When we moved, it took a long time for him to figure out which door led to the bedroom, where the bathroom was, etc. There's just no sense of space or direction. And yet there's brilliance in other ways. I'll ask the neuropsychologist at the next evaluation what part of the brain this correlates with, but thank goodness we live in an era of GPS and smart phones!![/quote]
