[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AI is autism, CI is cognitive impairment. [b]The core deficit of autism is a decreased desire[/b] and/ or ability for social engagement. That is what OP is seeing. OP can seek out social skills training, but from what I have seen the doesn't move the needle on an actual desire to hang out with other kids. The sole exception is if the child wants to do some shared video game. [/quote] Holy cow! No. It. Is. Not. Stop spreading false information about autism. Autistic kids WANT friends as much as other children. You are so incredibly ignorant here, im guessing you are part of the CI group[/quote] Decreased social motivation or differences in response to social stimuli is absolutely a core autism feature. That doesn't mean NO motivation. But it definitely is less or different. [/quote]
