[quote=Anonymous]OP here -- first time I’m responding, so I was not the one who said it’s my right to know something just because I’m at someone’s home.  From my perspective, no idea if he is on the spectrum, nor do I expect anyone to share a medical diagnosis with me.

Is it possible that a kid is so into his own “world” -- whether it’s the internet or video games or whatever that he just doesn’t “know” how to socialize, or does it have to be a medical issue?

Either way -- why is it my business? Because these parents expect others to interact with their kid.  How is one supposed to interact when the kid acts like this? This isn’t like putting up with a little kid with annoying behavior -- you do it because they’re little and don’t know better, but a high school junior -- shouldn’t they GET how other teen boys act and just mimic that behavior in public? I think I agree with the PP that parents can shift the kids 1-2 points on the scale but can’t change them altogether because I can’t imagine that these parents WANT this behavior.[/quote]
