Don't know what to do!

Hi - this site has me wondering - I've suspected that my son has Aspbergers'. He has obsessed with subjects and people since he was three. His obsessions went from Nintendo to astrology to chemistry to countries, just to name a few. He's memorized every flag on the planet and knows the periodic table of the elements. He could read at 3 and a half years old, but never learned how to keep a door from hitting him in the face when he walked into a building. I had to teach him how far away to stand during a conversation. He wanted nothing but tuna sandwiches for lunch at school for an entire year. Now he is obsessed with music, namely guitar and writes entire scores on his guitar program. He can play all kinds of instruments. He never calls friends over. If they don't initiate a meeting, it just doesn't happen. Now he is having problems in school because he misplaces everything or forgets homework. He is depressed a lot of times. Is there anyone out there who can relate to this? Please e-mail or comment! Don't know what to do!
