[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] At its heart, autism is a social communication disorder. Joint attention and the inability to read nonverbal cues are two of the best indicators in children who are [b]very young[/b] (although there is one poster whose kid has Aspergers and she says he has great joint attention, most scholarly papers and autism experts list this as a key deficit.)[/quote] Hi, mom whose kid with Asperger's who has great joint attention. Highly socially motivated too. Normal eye contact. Kid just has a terrible time reading nonverbal social cues and pragmatics. Just had a Neuropsych eval with Dr. Black who diagnosed ASD and ADHD combined type. DS is 7. The first sign for us was when DS entered preschool at 4. Would not play with other kids.[/quote]
