Thanks everyone for all of your input. I am very stressed out right now so I cant really get my thoughts together to respond to everything. I was at a mom to mom get-together today and of course my son starts spelling words and signing them. It attracted a lot of attention as it usually does and it was very uncomfortable. The looks on some of the moms faces are very negative, others are just amused. I just said well some kids love trains and cars, and mine loves letters and numbers. One lady said but he just spelled elephant, what are you doing? I said nothing. He's just into letters and numbers.

I don't know if he has Asbergers or if he is just gifted. I'll have to wait and see. Either way we are outsiders and it's how it is. I love my son and just hope he is happy.
