[quote=Anonymous]I just want to say thank you so much to the PPs who posted since I last responded. I wrote up a really long response yesterday, but did not post it, because I've already given so many specifics that some people will know me (or could correctly guess.) Since it's not about me, but about my son, I don't want to go into too much more.

However, you've been very helpful. PP with the Montco kid, you made me cry! Also I bought and read the book "Look at Me." Your post as well as that book made me wonder if in fact my son really DOES want friends, but just says he doesn't because he finds his attempts so awkward.  I'm still not sure about that (I'm sure there ARE introverted aspies as well as extroverted ones.) But the possibility made me feel sad and wish I'd done more to help him socially when he was younger. But i still can do more, since he's still at home for some more years. I'm going to be trying to figure out how to do that in a way that is comfortable for him and doesn't make him feel there is something wrong with him. Overall, he's still our magical child who we are rather in awe of. [/quote]
