He is obsessive about scabs and picks and picks on them constantly. Do you see that with Autism or Aspergers?
Obsessions are a part of Autism. Zach's older brother is an undiagnosed case of Aspergers. He was put on med for ADHD and a couple of other things I don't remember. So when Sara tried to have him diagnosed with Aspergers they didn't see any symptoms. Of course not since he is on med to control the symptoms! He also gets obsessed about things and he has problems with social issues. He is 11.

Zach's obsessions some of them change over time. The swing is one that has never changed.
