[quote=Anonymous]They may not know because they think of "autism" as Rain Man -ish, not a nerdy kid who can't read social skills and has obsessive interests. He very well may have Aspergers' or some other high-functioning place on the autism spectrum. Some parents are clueless, but this kid is slightly too old to have the benefit of the recent advances in diagnosing Aspergers and other spectrum issues, so he might just not have gotten the help he needed. Perhaps he was fine academically as well, so caught no attention for his lack of social skills. In any case, if you aren't directly involved and able to safely say something (this would be rare), then just stay out of it. [/quote]
