Craig,

Thanks for the update.

Part of my new job is opening my own clinic specilizing in children with Autism and Autistic Spectrum Disorders here at LSU (8hrs/week to start.) I've been reading more than ever about the spectrum over the past few months and I've been treating 5 children with Aspergers for the past month.

The prognosis is certainly much better than Autism. If at all possible, try to find a therapist that specializes in social skills training and have that started as soon as possible. Other therapy modalities can be useful as well, but it is NOT too young for him to start regular social skills training. Good luck and you will continue to be in my thoughts.
