[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Blurting out and poor social skills would be ADHD.

Saying inappropriate things or writing (or t[b]alking) in a stilted manner, and communicating in the same way to everyone, regardless of whether they are children or adults, is a sign of Asperger's.[/b]

My son has ADHD and Asperger's and has all the signs above. He talks like a little Professor, even to the toddlers. He sometimes writes in a very convoluted and weird way.[/quote]

My son has ASD w/o intellectual disability (in fact is gifted, so Asperger's type although that didn't exist in the DSM any more when we got the diagnosis). He doesn't speak in a stilted manner or the same way all the time.

If you've met one person with autism, you've met one person with autism. [/quote]

Stand down, PP.  the poster said it's "a sign," not that everyone on the spectrum talks this way.[/quote]

Jeepers,

1) was just letting OP it's not always that way; and 
2) Aspergers is no longer diagnosed. It's not in the DSM anymore.

Exactly. I am the first poster quoted, and a scientist with a family full of Aspergy types, and was drawing general lines to help OP.
Asperger's is usually diagnosed in children or adults with average to above average IQs, in case you didn't know.
