[quote=Anonymous]I have a similar aged-kid and a similar diagnosis, so I'm following to see what others say. A professional told us recently that the autism can become more apparent as they become teens because of the greater social expectations and nuanced communications. I'm sure that varies by individual, and I think there are still many autistic people who can "pass" to some extent throughout the teen and adult years, but I found it an interesting point to consider. We have certainly seen the social part become more difficult over the years, as judgment is not always quite "on" with our kid in terms of what is/isn't appropriate in friendships and in school vs out-of-school situations, and as the social demands begin to ramp up with nuanced romantic relationships between some kids, etc.[/quote]
