Guest guest Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 Hello, Our 12 year old's psychologist has suggested that he may have aspergers. We are in the process of having teachers fill out the screeners. After that we are going to set up some testing for him to determine if it is indeed Aspergers or something else. He has very poor social skills. He just doesn't seem interested in having friends. He's very smart and does well in school. He does have a pretty short list of interests. He's always been very interested in animals and has been like a walking animal encyclopedia. He's also always avoided social situations that involved more than our immediate family. He has a difficult time carrying a conversation with even our immediate family. I do feel that he is somewhere on the autism spectrum, whether that's aspergers or something else. I don't know if any of this would be related to aspergers either. His ears seem to turn red out of nowhere. Sometimes it's when he gets excited or is concentrating. He seems to digest his food really quick. A lot of times he goes to the restroom in the middle of eating. His pinkies are also curved. He's very flexible. I know that probably has nothing to do with anything but just in case. Does anyone else have experience with these symptoms? Any recommendations for supplements that may be helpful? Thank you very much for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
