[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I beg to differ with PPs. I don't really see the point. Your son sounds like a wonderful, successful and well-adjusted kid who is very introverted. If he's genuinely lonely (a good question from PP) and not just alone which some kids prefer to be, I would save my money and put him into a social skills group. You don't need a diagnosis for that. Google PEERS and Dr. David Black. Also, I know the diagnosis is very well accepted these days but there are still drawbacks and you don't know how he'll react to it. [/quote] This, at this point he's doing well so why get an evaluation. I might do a social skills group too if you are concerned, but I'd also look at activities with similar kids, like gaming or fencing. If he goes into IT or science or another field with folks like him, he'll be fine. The diagnosis is not well accepted despite what people say.[/quote]
