Do you think my dad has Autism or is the spectrum in some way? I do . My dad is very high functioning, here are something reasons I believe that he is on the spectrum . My dad has a very high IQ like above average , he is sensitive to noise and smells anything rattling in the car will dive him nuts he and he won’t calm down till Someone makes it stop . He won’t change the cat litter and wouldn’t change my sisters diapers because he gags so much because of the smells. He stems by rubbing his finger repeatedly up and down along the edge of his nose ,shaking his leg and taping the tips of all his fingers together repeatedly. He doesn’t like change . If we say we are going to cartain restaurant and then my mom decides she wants to go to a different restaurant my dad doesn’t want to
He says he already has the taste of the first restaurant in his mouth and he is not going anywhere else. My dad doesn’t like to go to large social functions and sometimes appears awkward . My dad is very literal and he is exact about time like if someone says we are supposed to be at a meeting at 5:30 he thinks that we must be there at exactly 5:30 we can’t get there any time before or after even if it’s only one minute after. My dad is very bad with others feelings and doesn’t really like to talk . My dad tends to push away others feelings or ignore them and obvious problems because I think he doesn’t know how to deal with them . My dad also has a special interest with guns . He loves target shooting, he has stacks of gun magazines . He has several books about Navy Seals . He loves movies about the military and Navy Seals . He used to watch gun shows about target shooting he probably has a collection of I don’t know how many guns . ( If you were worried I can tell you this interest only goes as far as target shooting and safety and protection .
