[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t mean to scare you OP, but there are a tiny minority of autistic kids who are [i]not[/i] academically gifted.[/quote] That means the chances of the OP’s son not being gifted are tiny. Why would that scare them?[/quote] She must mean not gifted. Because that's what studies show.[/quote] Studies[b][/b] show autistic kids [i]are[/i] gifted.[/quote][b] No, they don’t - they show the opposite - this was discussed upthread. You are thinking if the tiny subset of autistics who have what we used to call Asperger’s syndrome - it’s a combination of high IQ and autism. It’s rare but Hollywood has enjoyed making lots of movies and series (the Brits in Doc Martin) about Asperger’s types (my daughter is one: 2e) which is probably why you think it’s prevalent. The real stats were presented upthread. OP is similarly confused.[/quote]
