[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 549769, member: 1550"] \\ Disagree here. Kids on the spectrum can and often are very impulsive. But I'm in a group of parents who have Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids. They tend to have very soft hearts and a lot of empathy deep inside and most are horrified when caught doing something wrong. My nineteen year old will cry like a baby and beg forgiveness. That is what, from talking to other parents, these kids seem to behave like. They do understand right from wrong and, although they tend to be stoic kids, that does not mean they don't feel deeply inside. I would find it a red flag if any child is indifferent to getting caught doing something wrong unless he was so damaged that he truly didn't know it was wrong. Now there ARE spectrum kids with co-morbids that may cause this,b ut Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) alone shouldn't cause a lack of conscious or the inability to tell right from wrong. [/QUOTE]
