I have a grandson who has Aspergers. When he was a toddler he was very difficult, he did not cry much but would scream and scream and the only thing that would calm him was to put him in his cot and leave him alone in his bedroom. He also had many 'rituals'. But now he is at mainstream school and has developed into a very bright and happy boy. He has very good exam marks and has developed a few friendships - which at one time seemed impossible as he didn't understand why people had friends. He still has problems with strangers and new situations. If he sees children from his school when we are out shopping he doesn't speak to them, even when prompted, although he will point them out to me. He has also developed a sense of humour and his terrible violent outbursts are now VERY rare. Some of the traits are evident in one of his parents - guess which one!
