Answers:
It sounds more like PDD-NOS, pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified!. Typically children with Ausperger's have very very high IQ, and are low in the gross motor area!. Fine motor is usually typical!. They can socialize, they are often simply inappropriate, and lack the ability to recognise social cues!. My son is PDD_NOS, however qualifies for Autism in the Education system!. An evaluation is your best bet!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
Yeah, that sounds like Asperger's!. I'm 16 and I've been going through the same thing my whole life!. I've recently been diagnosed with it!. When I was younger, I'd get yelled at for being awkward in social situations!. And I do everything possible to avoid tying shoelaces in public because I feel like the only 16 year old who can't do it!. I'm terrible at socializing, so I usually let everybody else do the talking!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
