I have a friend whose GT child's Montessori elementary school kept pushing an AS diagnosis (though the boy's dad is a child psychologist and an expert on the subject!).

The problem was that the kid showed the alleged "symptoms" (besides GTness, of course) only at the end of the week, when he was tired, run-down and bored. After a restful, challenging weekend at home, he no longer looked like an AS kid.

Just an example to support what ebeth is saying...
