Hello, all. It's great to see this group as a browsed. My youngest brother has Asperger's and a couple friends have been high functioning, so I am always interested in others experiences and supporting others on the spectrum.

Oh, my brother is also one of the smartest kids I know. I took an IQ test at home once, did very well, when I gave up my brother Joel, only glancing down from the floor above while pacing and playing with a rubber ball start naming off the correct choices as the lady administering continued turning pages. I have the utmost respect for the intelligence of those people call "challenged".
@DoDapper mine has a great long term memory but drops the ball on immediate instructions...his social skills are improving all the time but the instruction issue will be a problem working...no answers yet.
I have many student with ASD. There is so much going on in the field now. Happy to answer any questions anyone might have.
