oh and I must also stress that every Aspie is different. Yes there are things that lead to a diagnos which make them similar, but there's still personality and different degrees of 'stuff'.
My Aspie husband is okay with eye contact. My son is okay with it when he's comfortable. We know other Aspies who have no real problem with eye contact, but others who make zero eye contact.
My children and husband don't do a lot of the Aspie behaviours people often read about. This is why I get annoyed with checklists, because everyone is different!
I have quite a few friends with children who I am certain are Aspies but my friends say "oh no, they're nothing like so-and-so who has Aspergers".
