Thank you all, some useful info.
@Aufilia we took the first step and have spoken to our pediatrician. It was there that we discussed about whether it was worth pursuing and for what reasons would it help him to have a diagnosis. He will go ahead with a referral on our say so..so i guess he sees what we mean. But i am still debating it. DS does have some quirky ways alright, but I was getting a bit bogged down as to whether he needs the diagnosis/label at all..and if the outcome will even be a positive.. Could social interaction help him in time? ..or will the stress of having to join in and all the noise just make him worse if he does have Aspergers? .. what does a diagnosis change? I was hoping some forum members had experience.. Does a diagnosis help so early on?
With DD, she was always alienated from her peers, but wanted to be social, and somehow adapted and fit in..so we didn't test until later when she was seriously bored starting school. She got help and is coming into her own now. But DS doesn't care how marginalized he is or acts..but maybe thats just "yet". Again hoping for input..
Thanks for the links @Indigo. I will read through them all properly, maybe get some info i am looking for.
@RRD Thank you, yes, I've read til my head feels like it will burst on the subject! ..some days i am looking at him thinking he is fine! everything will be ok for him.. then something odd happens or we get remarks from neighbours or relatives and i think.. hmm.. thats why I came here to just get some more personal views on the matter..suss out his quirks and whether they could be something worth checking out or are they just him!! Feeling lost on the topic..
