You are welcome, Dante! :) And yes, online forums are a secure way of interacting without the face to face confrontation which I know can be very uncomfortable for you and others who may not wish to understand your condition. You are wonderful, anyway - thats obvious :D
The boy I was talking about did join a local drama group but the children kept making fun of him because he cant keep up with their conversations and when he tries to join in, his perception is different to theirs so he does appear way much older and his high intelligence is beyond their own comprehension. I feel so much for him because, until he is diagnosed with the autism condition, people wont take him or his mum seriously.
I am disgusted that his school didnt even get autistic experienced psychologists in - just general ones who would not know the sure signs of aspergers or autism.
I will try my best to support her, so she finds the motivation to keep working towards a proper diagnosis - once that is cleared up, she can look at the correct schooling for him - with people who will understand him and know how to treat him.
Thank you, Dante - by bringing your condition to our attention, it made me realise that I can help in my little way.
