Hi - my DS (nearly 5) is a bit of an enigma. I think he may be borderline Asperger's but his dad thinks I'm mad. Most family members think I'm mad. His nursery (although he has just started school) were mixed in opinion - the manager agreed with me he might be borderline but his key worker thought he was fine, just shy at times and stubborn at times. I have had an initial appointment with a comm paed and we have a follow-up one in a few months. With the start of school, I am obviously watching him carefully to see if/how he fits in. So far, ok, shy, not interested in making friends but is not upset to go there. I feel a bit like I'm going mad and sometimes I wonder if I'm over-analysing... anyone else been in this situation and it has turned out the child is just a late developer?

Anyone suspected their child had Asperger's or autism and it's turned out not to be?
