[QUOTE="keista, post: 466050, member: 11965"] Squeezing could still be accidental, especially given Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). I just wouldn't want anyone labeling my child with scocipopathy (kind of a "give up" condition) when these actions are not necessarily malicious in nature. I'm aware it was just in "discussion" phase, but from Dr's perspective, you give symptom/behavior they think worst case. If he was being malicious, then he was being malicious. I'm not looking to make excuses for him, but again, given Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), the way he expresses his emotions is not always an accurate representation of what he is really feeling. So if you haven't already, try and find out what his motivation at the time was. It is also possible that it was misguided curiosity. I don't know what his maturity level and impulse control abilities are. [/QUOTE]
