My two older boys who are adopted were diagnosed with aspbergers.
No one, when they got older, would think they have been diagnosed with it. My oldest still walks on his tip toes at 24, but he is a senior in college and is in the National Guard. They both had nightmare of a childhood prior to coming to my house.
I have worked for several years as a TSS as a second job and the earlier you can get therapy started the better the 18+ outcomes will be. Don't wait till they are older to see if they will grow out of it.
PS - If you have had a bad TSS experience or any other worker with your child just request a new one and learn what approach you are using. Parents are the number on expert on their own child and make yourself into the best expert you can be.
Just out of curiosity: why do so many people misspell 'Asperger' as 'aspberger'? It strikes me as not obvious enough to be so common, and yet here we have two sibling posts that make the same mistake.
It's not a problem, of course, I'm just curious (and secretly annoyed, but that's my problem)
Guilty - I copy and pasted the spelling. I really have a hard time with spelling of English my whole life. There is no way for my brain to make sense of it. Phonics is a myth. I got straight 4.0 in college and that included thousands of pages of papers and learning Ancient Hebrew and Classical and Koine Greek.
