[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]oops forgot to add..can a child get an asd diagnosis if all they have is an obsession and no social deficits?[/quote]

My DS, 4, who has good eye contact, is not shy, etc. has social deficits and it's obvious when he is interacting with his peers.  He simply is not at their social level:  the most glaring example was when he started preK and could count, sing songs, name body parts etc within the first month of school all in Mandarin Chinese when he's never had any exposure previously but could not tell me the name of a single person in his classroom including the teachers.

He loves to classify and categorize and notices the minutest details.  He can tell you where are the broken light bulbs that need replacing in every place we have ever visited and will comment on it if and when it's been replaced.  Definitely someone who see the trees (individual leaves in his case) and not the forest.

Yeah, he's creative.  [b]Most of his current play involves designing different types of elevators.[/quote][/b]

PP, so these are designs of elevators that have never existed?? Can you describe a few types?[/quote]

?!?  Elevators made out of 'goo' where he sends aliens into outer space.  These are freight elevators and only DS is allowed to operate the buttons...  Like I said, he's 4.  I try hard to avoid this topic because frankly, it Makes me insane.  Thankfully, his temperament is easy going.  He's a nice kid and can be redirected/transitioned with little fuss.[/quote]
