[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think strange and odd are more pejorative. Quirky is more someone who beats to their own drum. Possibly (probably?) but not necessarily neurodiverse. I have one like this who doesn’t have any formal dx but has different interests from the rest of her kids in MS. She’s bookish, loves plants/gardening, loves mountain biking, never uses her phone, doesn’t wear anything remotely trendy (such as jeans, tank tops, hoodies, lululemon, cool sneakers -she wears Merrells and t shirts from vacations or dh SEC alma mater). She has a handful of nice  friends, does great in school - shes no harder or less happy than my other two more conventional kids. I wouldn’t be surprised if down the road she gets an autism or adhd dx but I have had her evaluated and there was no finding of either [/quote]

She’s not autistic.   I don’t know why so many people want to diagnose their child as autistic because they aren’t basic.   I’d be happy if I had a child that fit that description.   She sounds great, you didn’t describe one trait that would describe a person with autism and you should feel nothing but pride. [/quote]
