[quote=Anonymous]Social desire. Autistic DS has none, at all. Not even online socialization. I don't quite understand why. He has no friends, and doesn't want AND doesn't know how to maintain interest in someone else's small doings. He's going to remember who is sick and will ask after them; but doesn't get that in order to build a relationship, it's often the minor and more fun details, that count. He doesn't even think about getting together with people for casual hanging-out, for example. He has ADHD, and doesn't know how to plan ahead anyway, even though he's learned to do that for his education. This is going to be problematic both in his private and professional life. He will have no network to lean on if something happens to him after we're gone. His sister can't keep being the only peer in his life... [/quote]
