Asperger's Cats

3. If you are functioning normally in your life, don't sweat it. If it causes you real problems,

check it out. There may be some coping measures out there for you that will help you around the things that don't make sense.

I sympathize. I have an autistic stepson (you'd be amazed at how many otherwise seemingly intelligent people think that is a criminal illness) and a son who shows a lot of Aspergers traits. He refuses to even consider the possibility, and if he is slower to make his way to where he needs to go because of the inabiltiy to understand nuance and such, at least he's headed in the right direction.

The only reason I want a diagnosis is so that he can get the help he needs, if he needs it, when I am no longer there to smooth his way.

BTW, they are doing away with tags like Aspergers, and Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). In the future, Aspergers, PDD, and others will be referrd to as Austic Spectrum Disorders -- which is really what they are.
