[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^My BIL is a college prof.  Walked at 25 months, obsessed with the color red and birds as a child, had trouble making eye contact.  A lot like my AS son who walked at 16 months, obsessed with the color blue and birds, no trouble with eye contact...  DS was DX with AS at 4.  BIL never.

Feel sorry for BIL that they did not recognize Asperger's when he was a child.  Could have had a happier childhood.[/quote]

I am not so sure labeling is always good. [/quote]

Its not a label its a diagnosis.  People aren't cans of soup.  You can argue about whether or not a diagnosis applies but you denigrate all of us who have kids with very real diagnoses when you dismiss them as labels.[/quote]

I apologize that you find the word offensive. I didn't mean that the diagnosis were not real. But some experts do argue to keep mild conditions private if the impairment is not too great. Partly because of potential over dx or mis dx. Again the topic here is mild Asperger's.[/quote]
