Usually related to what the current "special interest" happens to be. Also true that they have problems communicating throughout and although they have seemingly normal verbal ability, they can talk your ear off about what their interest is, but when it comes to emotional intelligence they are unable to connect. It is more like learning a math problem when it comes to learning how to read people and relate. It is not natural and has to be taught over many many relational experiences. Last comment...yes if you let a bad behavior start it is VERY difficult to break it. That is why an early diagnosis is crucial. I didn't know my son had it until he was 11, Needless to say some bad habits had already started. Good news though after years and years of social coaching I get comments regarding my son and how well he does socially. He has also learned that his poor behavior wasnt going to pay off. Prayer works and God is merciful... find someone to share your frustrations with and dont give up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872575145321897807.post-12153763078776715142013-08-01T02:33:35.193-05:002013-08-01T02:33:35.193-05:00I have a cousin who gets bored very easily with an...I have a cousin who gets bored very easily with any task that he does. He has the same symptoms as for a child with RAD. after carefully observing his reaction to certain situations where he would go completely angry when people don't listen to him or things don't go his way. At <a href="http://cluas.ie/children/adhd/" rel="nofollow">Cluas aspergers syndrome treatment</a> we found that he had an attention disorder ADD/ADHD.

I pray that you find some solutions and that progress is made for you. Please check out the latest blog post on Advocating for Your Kids: Legal Resources, as there may be some infor. there that can maybe lead you in a direction that could help you with your therapy costs once you get some diagnosis (under the special ed. advocating services). Good luck to you my friend.GypsyDihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00068955479131509850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872575145321897807.post-73590381048572637842013-03-24T17:10:36.341-05:002013-03-24T17:10:36.341-05:00I think you are right, but my son has attachment d...I think you are right, but my son has attachment disorder and I think he has mild aspergers as well. He is behind at school and gets very angry as he isn't as good as his peers. He's in therapy and we are awiting a Tamhs appointment, as school feel that he has aspergic tendencies too. I have worked in the childcare sector for the last 12 years and have had lots of SEN training, so I understand impairments, disabilities and SEN. I hate labelling children but at the moment my son needs statementing and a diagnosis of aspergers with attachment disorder will hopefully get him the help he needs and maybe even some financial help for us as a family too, which would help with his therapy costs.
