I guess he just needs time to mature! In the mean time, we will work hard on his social skills. <br /><br />His Intelligent spectrum and Social spectrum is not in sync. They term it Asynchronous development which is very common in gifted children. <br /><br />Thank you so much and now I have another blog to read! :)A gift from Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04405546549649019295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31532170.post-2062028630489977232011-08-05T12:26:41.662+08:002011-08-05T12:26:41.662+08:00You have mentioned that Reese does socialize on so...You have mentioned that Reese does socialize on some levels. He is very bright and beautiful. My daughter's friend was told by a teacher and a doctor her daughter perhaps was Asperger's. The girl was shy when younger and would turn her back when I said Hi. Now she is six and says Hi and smiles tho I know she still feels shy and has learned this social cue. She is unusually attractive. All kids are different. If he is so bright on the intelligence spectrum, how can they say where he should be on the social spectrum? Give him more time and don't look for labels.You enjoy him obviously and he seems to enjoy his life. He seems to be a great joy.(I have a daughter diagnosed with "soft signs of autism". She had social problems but as an adult she has a social circle and functions well at jobs.)The doctor's ideas about certain story books seem very good and appropriate since he learns so well that way. Best wishes for all of you.Virginia Llorcahttp://dittymac.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31532170.post-77080410971606591342011-08-04T22:54:12.269+08:002011-08-04T22:54:12.269+08:00I am also going to bring zihan to see a psychologi...I am also going to bring zihan to see a psychologist for the first time this Saturday, the charge is rm450 for 1.5 hr. So hopeful that it won't be autism.... But I doubt it...<br /><br />Hopefully Reese will learn how to socialise soon.... The doctor gave few very good advices... Good luck.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06189381379354773761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31532170.post-81884142339222244032011-08-04T14:59:34.062+08:002011-08-04T14:59:34.062+08:00Mumsgather,

It's not necessary to have a best friend.<br /><br />I am really glad to keep the appointment. Just hope Reese will grow up normal. ;)A gift from Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04405546549649019295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31532170.post-25529107123612657962011-08-04T14:38:27.739+08:002011-08-04T14:38:27.739+08:00Reese is such an intelligent boy.

My kids both did not have any till they started primary school. My girl has only just started to have a best friend and she is 9.<br /><br />Whatever it is, it is a good thing you saw the doc, so now you know what to do for Reese.Mumsgatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08578910510946597934noreply@blogger.com
