sdl0625:

my S is on spectrum and graduated college in 3 years and has his first job, but EF issues were a concern in the past. His biggest issue is social. He talks about inappropriate stuff, and will ramble on about technical thiings that noone cares about. He never cared about attending social events , but I think his “lack of friends” is finally getting to him. he talks very monotone . Also extremely honest and with no filter, has caused issues in the past.

The comments folks are making about “inappropriate stuff” or “obsessively talking about an interest” don’t really describe this young man. I think he certainly has some interests - like trying to solve algebraic equations for fun, or creating a formula to solve Rubiks cube or researching and trying a zillion hot sauces - but he doesn’t bore others with them.

He is very sociable with his friends, however he NEVER, and I mean NEVER, initiates plans. He does a lot socially, but it is always at the behest of a friend who suggests golf, movie, etc etc
