Developmental pedi: Mchatt is not diagnostic but is a screen for communication disorders along the autistic spectrum - asperger's (currently part of the spectrum), autism and pdd-nos (pervasive developmentl disorder, not otherwise specified).A pediatrician specializing in development (board certified) is optimal for determining DX in child with "+" mchatt, & required to get help thru state funding in most states.

Asperger: A real good book is called Asperger syndrome by tony attwood. You can purchase a copy from amazon, as well as other works by the same author. I highly recommend it. Good luck to you.

Why do you ask?: There's no pill to cure it, and it's managed by learning and adapting. The kid who's poor in sports, socially awkward, seems baffled by others, acts like a jerk without meaning to, and has narrowly-focused interests that may seem strange needs guidance rather than a diagnosis. Strength sports over coordination / team sports. Guidance with people-skills. Managed well, Asperger's is a huge plus.
