[quote=Anonymous] You sound like you have high-functioning autism yourself, OP :-) Kidding! You seem a tad socially clueless. Don't worry, it will be just fine. Relax. Do what I do with my son who has Asperger's (now rolled into HFA) - talk to him like an adult. Don't be afraid of using long words and technical terms. He might take you literally, so go light on the idioms and expressions. He might not have the same kind of humor as most people. Ask his mother what interests him, or ask him directly - you might kickstart a long conversation about trains, or space shuttles or bottle openers, or whatever floats his boat. [/quote]
