my college roommate's son has it. Her son had sensory problems -- couldn't stand noise or crowds; also was a bit obsessive about things (and was very bright) -- he could name all the presidents (and vice presidents!) in order at 2. [ Reply | More ]

BF's nephew has it. If I recall correctly, he couldn't stand sound, changes in temp, really anything that might get your attention made him either very very upset or very aggressive. [ Reply | More ]

It's a little presumptuous of your ped to tell you he suspects Aspergers...let the dev ped work with you on this. There are lots of "red flags" but that doesn't mean it's aspergers. it could be, but wait until you actually get a diagnosis. [ Reply | More ]

my dc has AS. Go for the eval, it's great your ped suggested it. Many miss it. My dc was different. Very bad tantrums, no interest in peers, spotty eye contact but a ton of language. It presents very differently in kids so your dc might be nothing like this and still have AS or not but good to get it checked out. There are moms on the other board with AS dc's too.
