[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, I have. Of course, I have never understood what quirky means. Does quirky mean aspergers? Or is quirky kids the ones that are as happy to talk about astronomy as play tag?[/quote] Yes, when many parents describe their child as "quirky" they mean that DC has a mild of autism. It could mean mild Asperger's or mild HFA. IME, it also means the child has peer to peer engagement issues. It seems to be in the "mainstream" as it was part of a joke on 'Big Bang Theory'.[/quote] Yeah, there is even a book about quirky kids which is smaller print says something like it's a guide to working with kids who have Asperger's, HFA and ADHD. Doesn't mean all kids with quirks fit these dxes, but some do.[/quote]
