My son is almost 4 and since he was an infant we have been watching him very closely. He has 2 cousins, one with Asperger Syndrome and the other with Aspberger/Tourettes Syndrome. Needless to say...we've been a little obsessive regarding watching for clues to see if he is displaying any symptoms. We had him screened at 18 months because of his repetitive behavior such as lining up toys, walking on his toes, spinning....all classic symptoms of autism. However, because of his good social skills, great eye contact and his ability to engage in pretend play, we were told that they would hesitate to say he was on the spectrum at all.
