Asperger's behivors in older children include problems with friends, misinterpreting social information, rigid or black-and-white thinking, problems sequencing storied and lack of awareness of personal roles in relationships.

One in 150 children in general have some form of Autism Spectrum Disorders, and one in 94 boys exhibit symptoms.

"An ASD diagnosis is not always as significant as the media and other less informed factions make it out to be. Yes, it is a very sobering moment for a family and child or children, but it can be viewed as an opportunity for growth, probably not the growth that any of us would hope for, but certainly an opportunity to get to know ourselves better. Challenges are character building and this challenge is no different in that sense." - Dr. Tyler Whitney
