My parents sent me a copy of my full birth certificate, and with it they sent me my old school reports. I don't remember too much from my early school days so it's an interesting glimpse into the past and how I was as a child. Obviously I was interested to see if it gave any signs of Asperger's Syndrome.

My son has always been noted as being immature and easily distracted. He would also never play WITH children but would play along side of them.... question do you have issues with people touching you? My son does not like strangers touching him. He flinches if you go to shake his hand. Only if he knows you will he allow you to give him a "high-five" or shake his hand.
I'm not a fan of people touching me, no. Especially if I don't know them well and/or it is sudden and unexpected. To me the physical space between people is like some unwritten contract that should never be broken and it can shock me when it is.
That's exactly how my son reacts. It's really hard right now because I have him in American football and the coaches go to give him hi-fives and he gets this look of WTF?!?! on his face and tries to dodge them. There's one coach that he has known since he was 3 years old and that's the only one he'll let touch him.
