I've realized recently that I am an aspie.  Now I am wondering if my 3 youngest might be also.  My 8yr old son has an auditory processing disorder.  I'm wondering about his "quirks" now.  He is extrememly stuburn, will NOT eat veggies or several other foods (1st few years of his life he almost lived on bowls of melted shreded cheese), very picky about clothes, will not wear shoes.  He also talks REALLY loud.  And he dislikes loud sounds (gets scared at movies alot...will cover ears through lot of it).  He has never played with toys really.  He will watch his brothers play, but really doesn't play with them.  He has always seemed "old" for his age in some ways, but young in others.  He really does not know what is aceptable behavior for boys his age (hugs "friends" before leaving church and such.  I've seen the other boys make faces at him.  makes me sad)  What do yall think?  could it be AS? or am I reading too much into it? (really don't think I am over reacting myself but could be I guess)
