[quote=Anonymous]My aspie is 9yo. He's highly socially motivated so his social difficulties take a toll on him. His diagnosis really helps, though, in understanding his quirks and why he has problems in certain situations (like your DS, he's a very rigid thinker and has tremendous problems with perceived injustice). I echo what PP's recommended. Call Children's National or KKI to scheduled for an evaluation. It will be months out but insurance should cover it. Having a documented diagnosis can help his own self-perception as well as navigating needs down the road. [/quote]
