Anyway, my son was just diagnosed yesterday as being on the autistic spectrum and with having adhd. He is high functioning and so so gifted in some areas. He is sweet, considerate, clever, and witty.
JujuB,
I work with a man that is high-functioning autistic. He's clearly different, particularly with regard to personal interaction. But, he's highly regarded in the workplace. He's very good at what he does and he's had a long and successful career. I had the honor of being one of a relatively small group that he selected to attend his retirement luncheon yesterday. He's had a 30 year career and he'll be leaving at the end of the month. We'll all miss him and his successor will have difficulty filling his shoes; he's a hard t act to follow.
Keep your chin up; it's very likely that your son will find his niche in the world and be even more successful than you might imagine.
