[quote=Anonymous] You just described my child, except he's 10 and going into 5th grade. He certainly has some form of High-functioning autism, it runs in the family. What exactly would you say to her that she doesn't already know, OP? That he has Asperger's? I'm sure she's aware of his social challenges. The way you talk to a person like this is that you become direct and literal. However when he's latched onto his fave subject, there's not a lot you can do sometimes. My son is VERY DIFFICULT to stem when he's onto his favorite subject. I can look him in the eye and say: "That's enough, we need to change the subject", but when he badly wants to say something, he'll just go into override mode. You, as a neighbor, can't even say that. Which is a long way to say - mind you own business. [/quote]
