[quote=Anonymous]Assuming we go from 0-10 where 0 is "prom king/varsity QB/helps orphans across the street" and 10 is "will probably be better off in an institution." Parents might be able to socialize their kids a point or two in either direction. My parents probably took me from a 7 to a 6 -- maybe I could get a diagnosis if I shopped around enough, and I know I'm probably too weird/fat for most women. For example, I'll still misfire and just say something completely non-related to what my wife or others are saying. In order to get my attention, ANYONE will have to almost yell out my name, even in the middle of a group conversation. BUT, I've learned not everyone cares about (whatever my pet interests are) the way I do. I've learned basic social skills. Thing is, OP's friend's kid may well be doing the best they can to get their kid to that level. How does this kid being a little weird bother/affect you in any way? [/quote]
