| As an NT, I can say that there is not enough knowledge out there about ASD. Before my son was diagnosed I didn't' know anything about ASD. I also believe that since ASD is not something you can see by looking at someone, it is more difficult to understand. If you see someone in a wheelchair, you don... |

Thank you so much for sharing and explaining what these behaviours mean. I will be more aware of what my son is doing and how he is feeling.
I will definitely be back with more question. |

| Hi, Do people with ASD really prefer to be alone or are they alone because they have trouble communicating? The reason I ask is because my son has ASD and does not play with other kids at school. The books that I have read about ASD say that they prefer to be alone but I worry that he is lonely. Sho... |
