I feel like it's a valid statement, if the kid is about ten. As loosi said below, at 15 months, it's not weird at all. -- nm

It really isn't. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 18, 12:22
even at ten, "cries when his parents leave" does not equal "Asperger's". -- nm - TFox Jan 18, 12:22 31
- it could be a symptom. geez, y'all, she wasn't even blankety there. -- nm - b. Jan 18, 12:26 4
  - I would just like to see all posters increase their positive single data point sharing by 15%. - amanda Jan 18, 12:30 3
    - probably Lupus -- nm - Guy Jan 18, 12:31 1
      - Never! -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 18, 12:32
    - spider eggs -- nm - Beaker Jan 18, 12:31
- This is my point, really. It's like she's suggesting it as a diagnosis when it could be 61 other things. - amanda Jan 18, 12:25
- at ten, that equals "severe emotional issues" -- nm - Guy Jan 18, 12:24 23
  - or, it could indicate 'having a really bad day.' -- nm - Andie Jan 18, 12:26
  - cause crying is for pussies. -- nm - Beaker Jan 18, 12:25 21
    - not crying. bawling profusely whenever your mother leaves your sight -- nm - Guy Jan 18, 12:28 4
      - how much time have you spent studying child psychology issues? or raising a child? - TFox Jan 18, 12:29 3
        
        at 10? -- nm - Guy Jan 18, 12:31 1
        
        was just curious. a lot of time? your parenting advice has a sterling reputation. -- nm - TFox Jan 18, 12:33
        
        I'm sure he self-analyzes a lot. And he posts on ST a lot; that counts, right? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:31
    - I can see the whole "first day at school" type crying, where everything is fine after about a half hour. But for three days in a row? - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:26 15
      - OK, but even, *even*, if the child seems abnormally sensitive, it doesn't suggest a likely Asperger's diagnosis. - TFox Jan 18, 12:27 5
        
        Considering how over-diagnosed ADHD and Aspergers are ... :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:29
        
        Diagnosis? Come on, it was an anecdote. -- nm - con_carne Jan 18, 12:29 2
        
        It's an anecdote that suggests to a parent or relative that you suspect their child might have some sort of chronic disease. -- nm - TFox Jan 18, 12:31
        
        True. We all laughed. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 18, 12:31
        
        yup. -- nm - Beaker Jan 18, 12:29
      - simple seperation anxiety. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 18, 12:27 8
        
        and likely an overly reactionary mother -- nm - Guy Jan 18, 12:29 5
        
        this conversation is insane, we are discussing a non-existent child's hypothetical issues that don't even match (at all) the real child's issues. - Andie Jan 18, 12:30 4
        
        oh come on - pointless arguements are the meat of ST -- nm - Guy Jan 18, 12:33 1
        
        there is *USUALLY* some basis for it. people are arguing over the RIGHT diagnosis on a non-existant ailment. -- nm - Andie Jan 18, 12:34
        
        I think Beaker's taken the topicality of it by the nards and started to run with it. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:31 1
        
        hee -- nm - Beaker Jan 18, 12:33
        
        hypothetical child is hypothetical. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:27 1
        
        they should go to the ER for that. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 18, 12:28
- it could. it happened to loosi's friend's kid once -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 18, 12:24
