[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our dc has audhd and is 11. He seems mostly like a regular kid but he doesn't quite connect deeply like a 'typical' kid so his friendships are still surface level. He understands irony and sarcasm and can use it so isn't a 'target', but can be annoying (sometimes hard to tell if the annoyingness is adhd or asd) but quite self focused and like 'i am the victim' (we work on this). Does anyone have a kid like this who is now an adult? I worry that he will struggle to have a relationship, although he is very loving and willing to be active and proactive and we work really hard on all the skills that go with a relationship. [/quote] just fyi when you're talking to people in real life i wouldn't use the phrase 'regular kid' as if our asd kids aren't also regular kids. also I'm willing to bet he isn't neurotypical passing.
