Pediatrician,  's  Response
It is very unlikely that a 12 years old get diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, because this condition often manifests up to the toddler age. It is reasonable to assume that a 12 yo would be a little depressed over a divorce. The parents should consider getting him into therapy to help him adapt to the new situation. I hope he gets better, good luck.
