[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just don't get this. What does hfa with excellent jpint attention look like.[/quote]

My kid with ASD was diagnosed when he was 4 bc he would not play, engage with peers.  No speech delay except for pragmatics.  Fully mainstreamed at school.  DS goes to an immersion language school.  Does well academically and needs no supports in that area.  Has IEP for speech/ social skills and OT, fine motor issues.  Had no behavior issues until this year, 2nd grade, when the School did a FBA and got him a behavioral plan.  He does great with the behavioral plan.  Never had behavioral problems at home.

Has trouble reading nonverbal social cues.   Has excellent abstract reasoning and analytical thinking ability but flunked all the questions that deal with practical/social norms in his neuropsych testing.

Has obsessive interests and repetitive behaviors.  Likes routines and tends to be inflexible.

His eye contact is normal.

Our developmental pediatrician called DS "classic Asperger's" when he was first diagnosed at 4 and that's still a good description... But this is just one kid with AS and if you've met one kid with ASD, you've met one kid with ASD.[/quote]
