Wow Patricia Thanks so much for going in depth. It is very hard to see the line. At what age did you really pin point the possible ASD? The other day my son "won" a date with mom. He turned into the most considerate gentleman, he opened doors for me, poured me a glass of pop, held my hand and offered that I order first since I was a "lady" among other things. These are not things he picked up from just watching dad as I am pretty independant and don't necessarily like to be attended too. So I am unsure where he got these social cues but they really surprised me as I know several men who would be clueless about such things. Would this be something an individual with ASD would be unable to do?

I like your interviewing assignment. I will definitely use that.
Thanks for your helpful info.
