    I agree, she may find you attractive, interesting etc.

    She may want your "digits" (hoodie speak for phone no. - gosh I'm old) :)

    There are some lovely women out there who appreciate someone who is not "average". That's a fact!

    If you ever see her again, drop a brief smile and see what happens.

    Hi Cliff,

    My Son is 10 and was dxed with HFA when he was 7. He matches your description of Warren-Jay. I may be wrong, but the real "Rainman" who the film character is based upon isn't autistic. I think he suffered brain damage (saw it on Horizon or a similar prog) and is a savant. Some people with autism can be savants, but I doubt it's common.

    My Son is normal as far as I'm concerned, but incompatible with the average child!

    I think Adam is adapting (as I think I did) to behave more like the average child, I think it is conscious effort, but he's not desperate. I think he blames the other children at school for being difficult and not adapting to him lol. So self-esteem is OK at the moment :)

    I thought of myself as shy growing up, I can't be sure, but I think autistic traits run in my family. A penny dropped when Adam got his dx. I would describe my parents as "socially reticent". My Dad was awesome, but always looked a little uncomfortable in social situations.

    I might be rambling here...because communication is not my best skill (I wonder why? lol).

    Adam has had some casual friends, but does not have a best mate, yet...

    What interests does Warren-Jay have?

    BTW, I think my Son is awesome!!!

    Hi, I've just registered.

    I'm 44 and married with a Son. My 10 year old has a dx of "mild autism" and has a statement. He has this mainly due to being easily distracted and experiencing some social difficulties at school.

    I would also say that I have traits, but they did/do not cause significant issues at school or with employment luckily for us!

    I'm interested in making friends.

    We live in Brentwood, Essex.

    So...that's all for now!

    David!
