Guest guest Posted May 13, 2001 Report Share Posted May 13, 2001 I'm trying to sort this one out, too, as DOE is questioning the old aspergers/NLD label. Knowing the full story, I believe my son was classically HFA when 3 yrs old, aspergers at 7, and now ?? at 10. He seems to have dyslexia and some quirks (lagging in social & motor skills). Many of the now small to moderate problems seem much like those of a child who has grown up ill & surrounded by adults - like he's skipped normal childhood (which of course he has) and is a bit weak physically. I am happy to report that he is catching up with strength and coordination, tho, so that problem will be gone soon. He doesn't seem ASD (except to hypervigilent me), so I'm trying out some different explanations. Current favorite: multiple chemical sensitivities and dyslexia. But I know what you mean - deep inside there is still the biological problem, and it needs a name like you suggested.
