[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My autistic grandson has trouble picking up on social cues and is quirky but is ahead of his classmates in math and on track for reading. He avoids eye contact, will say things that aren't on topic and tends to have some repetitive motions, like pulling at his neckline. He is obsessed with trains, typical for high functioning autism. I think different terms are needed as autism is now covers such a broad range of spectrum its almost useless. Some kids we used to term mentally retarded are called autistic. So are some we would have termed gifted but quirky. [/quote] I agree! ASD range from Mental Retarded to Gifted.This is where people gets confused where exactly their children will fall under this spectrum! [/quote]
