[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Yes, it's a boy. Therapist did say that it would be an atypical case. There are some things that do resonate. But he is very empathetic (almost too empathetic because it causes him distress). He also has a very good sense of humor, more sophisticated than most kids. But he is very awkward with other kids. He is extremely disorganized and some other random things on lists I read resonated (like clumsiness, low pain threshold, extremely sensitive to his environment, can't handle crowds or weird smells, etc). But it was really the social piece that therapist focused on. [/quote] This sounds much more like ADHD to me. But it can be comorbid and there is a lot of crossover. [/quote]
