Hi, I'm new..well, I'm not new, actually I'm fairly old but I'm new here. I came across this site while trying to find out information about one of my sons. I realized early on that he was very much like me and wanted to see if there were more people out there like us. My son is in grade school, he's very intelligent, has selective mutism, walks on his toes, has serious meltdowns and has very specific interests (airplanes and weather) among other things.
He is incredibly like me when I was young..I was the 'weird' kid in school (1950s and 60s). Now everyone just says I'm eccentric. I've never been diagnosed and now what would be the point, just waste money on the obvious. When I was young there was nothing to be diagnosed with..I was just the clumsy smart kid who wouldn't speak and if you threw a ball to would invariably miss it. Anyway, I'm here to learn.Thanks all.
